| Our hamburger lunch at Geddy’s was $46. It was busy and noisy, but the food was good. The restroom doors are labeled “inboards” and “outboards”. We saw more than one person stand in front of the door in confusion, wow. Later in the day, dinner for three at Testas was $80. The staff was some of the friendliest I’ve seen in a long time. If you can get a seat at the front of the building on the second floor, you’ll have a good view of the bay, assuming it’s still daylight. The Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce has an extensive list of shops, restaurants and activities at http://www.barharborinfo.com/ |
The height of tourist season in Acadia and Bar Harbor is July and August. Even in June the streets and sidewalks are crowded. Parking is free, but don’t expect to immediately find a place to park; when you do, it will most likely be limited to 2 hours. A local resident explained it to me with a little more color, that parking enforcement is vigorous. If you drive your RV downtown, the only parking available to you is south of downtown a few blocks on Main St., near the ball fields. There’s room to parallel park 4 to 6 RV’s depending on length. |

| Margaret Todd, a 151 foot 4 mast schooner. It was very smooth, no worry about motion sickness. Sit in the outward facing seats along the middle or you will come back with a stiff neck. Tickets were less than $40 per person, purchased on the pier. |
| If you're not into camping, you might check out the Bar Harbor Inn. We were camping, so I don't have rates or any photos of the inside, but the outside looks quite nice and the view from the bay side rooms should be great. |
