We’re so excited to welcome you to the little island we call home! Mount Desert Island is filled with amazing restaurants and endless outdoor adventures. Here are some of our favorite spots to eat, hike, and explore.
This is Katie's favorite spot to enjoy a drink, relax on the porch, and watch the sunset.
We adore this hidden gem of a restaurant in Southwest Harbor. It’s a bit off the beaten path, making it less touristy and often with shorter wait times during the summer. Their small plates menu is fantastic!
If you’re looking to enjoy some Maine lobster during your visit, we highly recommend Beal’s Lobster Pound. You can savor your lobster while sitting by the water or grab it to go for a perfect seaside picnic!
If you’re in town for a Friday night dance party, we highly recommend Lompoc in Bar Harbor—it’s our favorite spot! We’ve had so many unforgettable nights there and think you’ll love it too.
Sweet Pea is one of our favorite restaurants, offering a fantastic farm-to-table menu and a lovely outdoor dining space.
This hike holds a special place in our hearts because it’s where Sean proposed to Katie. It’s a bit longer but rewards you with stunning views of Somes Sound.
This short and easy hike offers incredible views for minimal effort—a great bang for your buck! After the hike, you can take a refreshing dip in Valley Cove if you’re brave enough to face the chilly water.
