Bar Harbor is a charming little town in Maine that is often used as a base to access the stunning Acadia National Park just a few miles away.
While most visitors stay in Bar Harbor for its park access, there are many great things to do in Bar Harbor that make it a destination to explore on its own right.
One such attraction is a unique natural element that you may not get to experience anywhere else- the Bar Island hike. This one is only accessible during low tide as the land bridge that connects the island to Bar Harbor town is only safe to cross for just six hours a day- 1.5 hours each before and after low tide.
So to see this one, you may have to do a bit of planning and have some luck on your side for tide schedules, too!
