Travel Tips from people who've been to Bar Harbor
Blueberries and Lobster - a must have in Bar Harbor/ Maine. Lobster Feast is great, they got everything with blueberries and lobster... crazy. Try blueberry beer or for the tough ones only: LOBSTER ICE CREAM (real lobster meat in vanillia ice cream)... prob. you got to drink lots of blueberry beer first...
Obama was there recently - but he ate coconut ice cream... I wonder why...

Bar Harbor is a picturesque, breath taking and delicious adventure. Hike Cadillac Mountain, try some lobster ice cream from the candy store on Main Street, or drive through Acadia... be sure to stop at Thunder Hole. An amazing place that combines nature with food and shopping. If you drive in through Ellsworth, stop at Jasper's for some seafood and corn bread!!

-You have to eat at Cafe This Way, breakfast and dinner if possible.
-Don't go in August, its a mad house, go either mid-july, or mid-sept...things are still open and its still nice weather, plus you dont have as many people around.
-Drive around the park-loop road.
-There are some great spots for bouldering, and rock-climbing
