There’s a
small island off of the coast of Maine by Bar Harbor called Bar Island, and it’s
accessible by foot 90 minutes either side of low tide, so off we went.
The most
difficult thing was finding parking in Bar Harbor – there is no public parking
garages, it’s all street parking and limited at best. Once we found parking, we
worked our way toward the “trailhead” and were not alone – lots and lots of people
had the same idea.
So it was basically a
half-mile walk along a sandbar to the island, then another half-mile walk to
the summit, and back. It was okay, but if you’re not interested in walking that
second half-mile to the summit, the views from the base of the island were
almost as good.
We had not
planned to stay and tour around Bar Harbor, but since it was such a struggle to
find parking, we decided to look around at the shops with the intent of never
coming back! :-) There were a lot of restaurants, some cute
shops, lots of touristy shops, and tons of people also looking for parking spots.
Here’s the
island later, as the tide rolled in – you can just see the sandbar.
Easy and affordable - no matter where you are!
