Shopping was fun unless a cruise ship was docked & then it was crazy crowded. I enjoyed going back in the evening & I appreciated that the shops and dining options were available when lots of places close. Blueberry Ice Cream & popcorn were amazing!

Bar Harbor is a lovely little town which is quite vibrant early evening. We arrived early in the season but most of the restaurants were open and there was a good choice . Lots of quaint shops. Great location to visit Arcadia national park

Lovely downtown area with affordable parking. Leary's Irish pub was a repeat food spot! Great small shops with tons of family friendly activities. You will need a parking pass for the national park (ours was $35 for 7 days).

We walked all of the downtown area in a couple of hours. It was an easy 28 minute drive to Acadia National Park. We watched the sunset up on Cadillac Mountain before we checked in, and got up early to watch the sun rise.

Nice coastal town area- some interesting shops- mostly touristy. The selling point is how close it is to Acadia Park which is the main draw. In addition to park trails/ drives, don't miss the Azelea Gardens.

Busy little town full of shops and restaurants. Parking is difficult and traffic challenging even in October. Shuttle bus service is available from the hotel to Downtown. Didn't use it but probably would in peak summer season. Loved Acadia NP!!!

"Exceptional Hospitality at Seasider Motel in Bar Harbor!
Our two families had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Seasider Motel in Bar Harbor, Maine, on July 20th and 21st, 2025. We booked two rooms for two nights, and from the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the hospitality and care provided by the staff.
After a long road trip from Florida, arriving late on our first night, we were warmly greeted by the night manager, Dustin. His exceptional hospitality and accommodating nature were a breath of fresh air after ten days of mixed hotel experiences. Dustin’s warmth and professionalism set the tone for a truly memorable stay.
The motel itself, while older, is impeccably maintained. Our rooms were spotlessly clean, comfortable, and more than sufficient for our needs as we prepared for days of hiking in Acadia National Park. The continental breakfast was a pleasant surprise, offering a great selection of cereals, pastries, bars, coffee, and juice—perfect fuel for a day exploring the park.
What truly made our stay unforgettable was the thoughtfulness of the hotel manager, Tim. On our first morning, Tim stopped by our rooms to personally welcome us and surprised our four kids with adorable mini stuffed Maine lobsters, complete with adoption certificates! The kids were thrilled, and as parents, we appreciated this delightful touch (no live lobsters or county fair goldfish moments here!). Tim’s friendliness extended beyond this gesture—he took the time to offer fantastic re"

"We loved our stay! Old school charm with amazing views! We loved the location because we could easily get to the park and downtown Bar Harbor but without the crowds of downtown. Loved Bill the piano player at night!"
