🏞️ Acadia National Park | Must-Know Tips from a Frequent Visitor!

Having been to Acadia countless times, here’s my curated guide to make the most of your trip! 🌟 Must-Visit Spots: Bar Harbor Town – Part of the park vibe! Quaint streets + great restaurants 🏘️. The Beehive Trail – A classic! Narrow path—go early to avoid crowds 🧗♂️. Thunder Hole – Check tide times 🌊 (twice daily)—best during high tide for the "boom!" Cadillac Mountain – Sunrise paradise! 🌅 Permit required: Book 3 months early on recreation.gov 🎫. Last-chance tickets drop 2 days before at 10 AM (be quick—they sell out!). Jordan Pond – Super popular 🏞️—arrive early for parking! Bass Harbor Head Light Station – Gorgeous sunset views ⚓ (on clear days). Sand Beach – Sunbathe by day, stargaze at night 🌌. 🍽️ Food Recommendations: Breakfast/Brunch: Cafe This Way (Bar Harbor) – Cozy spot with delicious food ☕. Try their hot chocolate! 🍫 Sweet and warming—perfect morning boost! Lobster Feast: Fresh boiled lobster 🦞 – A Maine must! Stop at lobster shacks 30+ mins from the park (check hours—closed Sundays!). Pro tip: Eat on your way back—saves time! ⚠️ Pro Tips: Parking: Jordan Pond and Cadillac fill fast—go early! Tides: Use tide apps for Thunder Hole timing. Permits: Set calendar reminders for Cadillac tickets! #Acadia #Maine #TravelTips #NationalParks #LobsterLover #BostonWeekend #USATravel 🦞📸🌲
