Located in the Downeast region of Maine, Bar Harbor was once considered a small fishing and ship-building community. Today, it is a favorite destination for people throughout the world. With Acadia National Park in our backyard, a visit to Bar Harbor affords the comforts and luxury of a classic vacation retreat, but also offers spectacular beauty and natural wonder for those who would prefer to spend their time outdoors.

For different people the image of Maine means different things…unspoiled landscapes, beautiful vistas, succulent lobster, stately lighthouses, outdoor adventures, and exceptional shopping, just for starters. From city to country, inland to coast, nature to nightlife, welcome to Greater Portland's Casco Bay and beyond.
