This area of DownEast Acadia marks the beginning of the boldest part of Maine’ s coastline extending between the former granite quarrying town of Sullivan to the traditional fishing villages of Jonesport and Beals and includes the Schoodic section of Acadia National Park. The people and places between the Schoodic Peninsula and Jonesport / Beals exemplify the hardworking culture often associated with Downeast Maine. Land trusts across the region have developed hiking trails with easy public access to beaches, ponds, and forests.
Winter Harbor is a bustling fishing village with seafood restaurants, artist galleries, gift shops, and cultural events hosted year-round by Schoodic Arts for All. Visitors can ride the ferry between Bar Harbor and Winter Harbor – bring your bicycle to explore the on-road Bold Coast Scenic Bikeway or the off-road bike trails at Acadia.
