Many people choose to stay in Southwest Harbor during their visit to Acadia National Park for its convenient location and more relaxed pace. Southwest Harbor is situated just west of the southern entrance to Somes Sound on Mount Desert Island. It is the largest municipality on the island's southwestern "quiet side." The town is a hub of activity, with various great restaurants, shops, galleries, and eateries worth exploring. Some of these include the charming Little Notch Bakery, the renowned Red Sky, the local favorite Peter Trouts, The Cygnet Gallery, Cornerstone Gallery, Beals Lobster, Sawyers, Cafe Dry Dock, Tom Cat Tide, The Store, Southwest Cycle, and many more! Many come to Mount Desert Island to visit Acadia National Park and enjoy its beauty. You can get a yearly pass to the park or pay as you go. Our suggestion is to get the yearly that you can visit other national parks. Some of our favorite trails, which are mostly easy and dog friendly, are Asticou and Jordan Pond Path, Little Harbor Brook Trail, Carriage Trail Loop, Wonderland, Ship Harbor Trail, Echo Lake Trail, and many more. Our suggestion is to download the All Trails App and search for your skill level. Other exciting things to do is to go on a whale watching tour, ride the ferries to neighboring islands like Cranberry or Little Cranberry and explore those. Visit the bustling town of Bar Harbor and the smaller villages around the island. You can do all this by car or use the Island Explorer buss.
