When they put together a list of the 43 Most Beautiful Towns In The World, a true Maine gem made the list!

The world really does have some charming places, and for a destination right here in the 207 to make the cut? Pretty impressive.

Bar Harbor, is just one of those spots that instantly makes you exhale and slow down. Our favorite coastal town is tucked between the ocean and the mountains, and everywhere you look there’s something beautiful, waves crashing up on the shore, sailboats in the water, gorgeous hiking trails, it really does have something for everyone.

What makes Bar Harbor special, is how easy it is to get around town. You can hike in Acadia National Park one minute, then be downtown enjoying a Maine lobster roll the next.

The town’s full of cozy spots, friendly locals, and that classic Maine mix of salt air and good vibes.
