Shore Path, Maine, United States

4.5 (2.009 reviews) Spent Ranking #7 in Maine Nature & Wildlife Areas

A captivating walk you might miss out on in the touristy din

A salute to Bar Harbor for this jewel of a walk, affording multi-million-dollar views of Frenchman Bay to all! Even on a rainy day, the seascape of rocky/kelpy shore, a wide variety of vessels on the move or secured, and wooded islands is the equal of many available in the adjacent Acadia National Park. In the other direction, magnificent estates and gardens, maintained to a widely varying degree that only adds to their charm. The interpretive signs are also lovingly maintained little works of village art. Parking at a very reasonable price can be found; just follow the signage leading you off the main tourist thoroughfares.

One of my Go To places to paint!
The idea that this rock from somewhere else travelled with the glacier and eventually dropped down fascinates me. I love to see the geological variety in this area. The colors are different every time I come here thanks to weather, tide, time of day, season and where I decide to set up to paint. Seldom do I see someone walk past without being drawn to it, even for a moment.

a lovely sunrise experience
We used the path to view the sunrise over the harbor. We decided not to try the crowds on Cadillac mountain. The view from the harbor was fantastic. Catching the lobster boats as they headed to their traps was an interesting bonus. If you are staying on that side of Bar Harbor, there are a couple of pathways back up the hill versus going all the way back to the port area.
