Lots of harbors and marinas

Bar Harbor, Maine, full of shops, restaurants, and people

North of Acadia National Park there are some interesting lighthouses

...and treacherous coastline

Besides rocky shoreline, there are also pristine beaches, mostly for sitting, the water is cold

Did I mention that the coastline was spectacular in Maine!

If I was an artist I'm sure I could sit for hours here and sketch this scene

or maybe this one

OK this one for sure would become a painting

This is the bed and breakfast we stayed in, the Harbour Cottage Inn, very nice, comfortable with great breakfasts

The room had a living area, porch, bedroom and kitchen

Oh and the breakfasts at the Harbour Cottage Inn, were very very good! The best in Southwest Harbor, Maine, for sure.
