Mt. Desert Island is comprised of many different towns including Southwest Harbor, Northeast Harbor, Bar Harbor, Seal Cove, and Frenchman's Cove. Southwest Harbor has a haunted feeling to it and if you look close enough, you will notice why. It was the town used in the filming of Stephen King's "Storm of the Century". To this day you can still see the original buildings that were used in the movie.
Seal Cove is a small community nestled in the mountains that is the home to everyone's favorite homemaker, Martha Stewart. This is where she gets most of her ideas and the best places to eat lobster.
Bar Harbor is a magical and romantic town on the east side of Mt. Desert Island that has welcomed visitors for over one hundred years. From Cadillac Mountain to Acadia National Park, the beauty of this coastal village is remarkable.
Included in every town, there are beautiful fishing ports where boats are docked all day. Anyone who is not from the coastal north will appreciate just looking at the beauty of nature here. There are lobster pits on almost every corner and you can't fully experience Maine until you have tried a fresh lobster. And right down the main road, which is Coastal 1A, you can find Ellsworth and Bangor. In Bangor, you can even see Stephen King's House.
Coastal Maine has an alluring charm to it because of all the diversity. From the mountains, to the sea, to the rivers, and to the snow topped trees in the winter, Maine has it all. Maine's slogan sums it up the best- Maine: Vacationland.
Again, this is another general post to show the attraction to Coastal Maine. My next 2 posts will be more in depth and focused on where to stay and eat for Helen and Mt. Desert Island.
