4.5Perkins Cove(2.480 reviews) - A nice reward after strolling down the Marginal Way Geologic Formations
This charming fishing village is one of the most picturesque spots in southern Maine. It’s renowned for its fresh seafood, such as lobsters, oysters, clams, and crabs, which you can catch on a private or group fishing tour. After a sumptuous seafood meal, tackle the Marginal Way, a cliff walk famous for its excellent harbor views and scenic lookouts. This coastal enclave is busiest in the summer when vacationers descend on its turquoise beaches. It’s also a haven for art lovers—check out the galleries and local boutiques selling quirky knick-knacks and handicrafts. – TripadvisorSee more..
4.0Thunder Hole(1.084 reviews) - Visit 2 Hours Before High Tide Geologic Formations
My family has been traveling to Acadia NP for nearly twenty years and Schoodic Peninsula was a fairly recent addition to our usual itinerary. However, the drive over is well worth it. The cycling along the peninsula is among the nicest in the park (and much less busy than the Park Loop Road). I also especially recommend cycling on the gravel paths traversing the center of the peninsula. The hiking on the peninsula is not particularly interesting, but cycling and scenic drives are worthwhile.See more..
5.0Schoodic Point(502 reviews) - A point to remember Geologic Formations
Acadia National Park has many hidden spots to visit. This is one of those where the crowds are lesser than other parts of the park. Schoodic point is located about 75 minutes from Bar Harbor. It is located in Winter Harbor and may be one of the least visited places but as the word gets around this place will get packed for sure. I would strongly recommend visiting the Schoodic peninsula where the Schoodic point is located. As the name suggests, the Schoodic point is located at the tip of the Winter Harbor area with gorgeous views of the ocean. This place has ample parking and great facilities as well. Fun part about visiting this place is to navigate the rocks as you get closer to the ocean. This is a great place for a picnic spot. Watch for the seagulls as well. The waves crashing the rocks is a sight not to be missed. I would have loved to visit this place on a sunny day. But still the experience was magical.See more..
4.5Otter Cliff(309 reviews) - Most beautiful stop on Park Loop Road Geologic Formations
We crossed the road from the small parking lot to the trail leading toward the water, and walked along the cliff until the short trail came out on the road again. There are beautiful views of rocky cliffs, islands, and outcroppings. We walked down onto the rocks to look at the tidepools and see the waves crashing up close. Hated to leave!See more..
Quill Hill is located off Oddy’s Road on Route 16 in Dallas Plantation between Rangeley and Stratton, Maine and is known for its scenic views. Once you turn on to Oddy’s Road, you will follow a very well maintained dirt road for approximately 12 minutes, or four miles, to the top. At an elevation of 2,848 ft., visitors are rewarded with a breathtaking 360º view of Tim Pond, Rangeley Lakes, Saddleback, Saddleback Lake, Kennebago, Flagstaff and the Kibby Wind Power project. It is the only mountain in Maine with a 360º view accessible by automobile, bike, ATV, and motorcycle, and it includes a 4,000 ft. wheelchair path between the two scenic views. No matter what type of transportation you use, please be respectful of the land so that it doesn’t get closed to the public.See more..
