Must see! Can get quite crowded in the summer with limited parking. So plan to arrive early preferably before 10 am or earlier. Enjoy blue turquoise clear water, soft sandy beach, nice swells, view of surrounding mountains, and a bonus Beehive lagoon at the back part with many little fishes for kids to enjoy! Must visit!
Starting point for Ocean Path.
Try Acadia National Parks - Stargazing at Sand Beach program. You have to sign up ahead!

Hunters Beach
Little known but nice beach usually frequented by locals
One of our favorite public beaches in the summers. We like the long stretch of shallow water which is safe for young kids to play. Still cold in the summer but the kids seem not to mind. Not as busy as other beaches. Daughter likes to play on a nice stream that runs across the beach into the ocean. Rumor has it that Martha Stewart has a house in the area

Nice pond with a walking trail( about 2 hour walk) that is a nice easy walk around the pond.Water views throughout the hike.
There is an area where you need to walk on rocks - fairly easy except for those who has balance issues.
Drop by at Jordan Pond house ( restaurant) after the hike to enjoy their delicious popovers!

Close to 2 hour drive from Bar Harbor- farther out downeast ( not part of Acadia ) but this is a very unique beach with ocean scrubbed smooth stones that produce a musical sound as the waves crash to and from them. The pictures don’t do justice. If you have time - very worthwhile to visit. A unique experience!

Should be the highlight of your trip. Be the first to see sunrise in the East Coast. Sunrise is my preference. Sunset also beautiful. While you can see both from other places, they pale in comparison in its grandeur and majesty. It is worth waking up at 4 am!
To drive up- you Need advanced vehicle online reservation which costs$6, plus a park pass.
You may hikeup through the Cadillac North or South Ridge trail. No need for park pass or reservation.
You may also pay for a ride through a shuttle for $10 per way ( Cadillac Mountain Shuttle). They leave every hour.
Be prepared for a cooler temperature with the elevation. If you plan to stay longer, you may bring a beach chair and a blanket.
