Northeast Harbor on Mt. Desert Island is a quiet, quaint village highlighted by a remarkably beautiful harbor filled in the summertime with the spectacular motor yachts and sailing ships of the significant summer population. If you would like large crowds of people, souvenir shops, ice cream stores and countless hotels and B & B’s I would suggest Bar Harbor 15 minutes away. However, Northeast Harbor has a few fine antique shops, several clothing stores, superb art galleries, a few restaurants, a couple of coffee shops, a hardware store, a wonderful grocery store with organic and local foods and one very good all round video/books/magazines/espresso/candy etc. place. We have tennis, golf, a ferry service to the outer islands, a fabulous new library and of course, Acadia National Park with its miles of hiking trails and carriage paths. Many of the walking trails begin within 1 mile of Northeast Harbor.
