Explore Bar Harbor, Maine

Downtown Bar Harbor, shops and restaurants. In the heart of downtown Bar Harbor is a small but beautiful park with plenty of shady or sunny spots to relax in the grass. This is also the central bus stop to catch connecting buses to many spots in Acadia or around Mount Desert Island. Downtown is filled with plenty of restaurants and bakeries to fill any craving you may have. You can find the most delicious lobster mac and cheese at West Street Café and for dessert, a highly recommended swirled wild blueberry cheesecake slice from Pink Pastry shop! While walking through downtown you can expect to find many local shops promoting products made right in Bar Harbor. It was here I tried my first ever blueberry soda, It was so tasty I bought a whole case! One unique downtown gem was the movie local theater located straight across from the park. We had some extra time and caught a cheap but brand new movie and was surprised to have the ability to order pizza right to our seats.
