I have been going to Bar Harbor, actually Northeast Harbor, its smaller neighbor, in July and/or August for the past 25 summers. This is what I have learned over the years, and it is what I tell my friends who ask me about Maine, my insider’s advice for your visit.
From lobster rolls to popovers to blueberry pie to my favorite restaurants – everything food related in Bar Harbor.

On a hot day, boating is a great way to cool down. The air on the water can be 10 degrees cooler and much breezier than in town, and when the temperature starts to climb, island hopping is just the thing.
Islesford, or Little Cranberry Island is a popular destination with a restaurant and art galleries, accessed by the mailboats. It is small and easy to explore on foot in a couple of hours.
Marshall Island is one of the largest islands with trails, campsites, and a sand beach. It is not on the ferry or mailboat routes, so it’s harder to get there!
Maine is magical from the water. There are many small, uninhabited islands off the coast to explore and look for sea glass and other treasures.
Waiting for fall color!
We’ll be in Maine for another few weeks, hiding from Helene. After, we will head to Jupiter for the winter.
