πŸ‘πŸ‘ Try to visit at sunrise. As of summer 2022 you need a reservation for your car. We went in July and I reserved my spot in April. We did a 3:15 am wake up time as the sunrise was at 4:55. Between getting up, driving from Bar Harbor, and sitting in the line to drive up the mountain we were there less...

Momo's Cheesecakes
Bakery
πŸ‘πŸ‘ They have gluten free cheesecakes! They're in the back left fridge and the shelf is clearly labeled. There isn't an ingredient list on them, but we happened to see the wife of the baker when we were there and he was able to confirm with her that the flour is corn free (important for me). There are n...

Bar Island Land Bridge
Hiking area
πŸ‘πŸ‘ We LOVED this place! Things you need to know: - You need to look up the high/low tide times - If you start crossing before the bridge is clear, you will have wet shoes. Fix: bring water shoes. Bare feet are not recommended (sharp rocks and shell bits) - It’s a 30-60 minute free activity. You walk to...

πŸ‘ Stopped by this place randomly today and will definitely stop by again whenever I am in the area.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ My wife and I bowled here a few weeks ago during our trip to Acadia. Being from NC, we have never bowled candlepins before. We had the most wonderful time. I honestly think I prefer candlepin to ten-pin. We enjoyed talking to the owner, Autumn, just as much as bowling. Right now, she is the lone em...
