Sightseeing

The best time to venture up Cadillac Mountain is early in the morning. Do not go mid day or for the sunset. It's a mob scene in July and August. Early morning is best. It's beautiful to see the island awaken.

Arts & Culture

Very intersting, Smithsonian Museum located just down the street on the corner of School and Mount Desert. Kids and adults will find it informative. It's good to think about who was here first and how they lived on and loved the island.

The Village Green is a busy place in the summer. There is live bandstand music there most nights as well as art shows and just general good people watching. Get an ice cream at Mount Desert Ice Cream and sit in the park for a while.

This is the largest grocery store on the island. Avoid going on the weekends and try to go early in the day rather than at dinner time.

Parks & Nature

If you want to swim but the ocean is too cold, try Echo Lake Beach. This is a beautiful, clean lake with lifeguards on duty. The little ones will love playing in the shallow water and building sand castles.
