Me and the wife are going for our 30th anniversary. We got two days in Portland, two days in Booth Bay and the last three in Bar Harbor.

Any recommendations?

Traveled there and hunted grouse and woodcock in Fall 2020.

Much was shut down in the cities. Portland was trying to emulate the other one in Oregon.

Bangor was interesting.

The eastern part of the state is incredibly remote.

Having been to all 50, Maine is one of my favorites (at least in the rural areas).

Enjoyed boothbay and bar harbor a lot. Def check out Acadia national park and do a sunset cruise outta bar harbor. I was trying to find the name of the place we had the best lobster from near bar harbor and I think its name has changed to rose Eden lobster. It’s not right in town but a little shack just on the outskirts of town. It was very good.

All of Mount Desert Island is cool, but Bar Harbor is very touristy. We stayed in Southwest Harbor, and it is much more chill. Plenty of good hiking on that side of the island too.

When in Boothbay Harbor try Deb's Bristol Diner for breakfast. Pemaquid Seafood in Boothbay Harbor for Lobster and Steamed clams.

When are you going/ Lots of places start to shut down after Labor Day.
Lobster Rolls are over rated.

Went mid September 2021. 3 nights in Damariscotta on a houseboat, 2 or 3 nights in Bar Harbor, 1 night in Bath. If you go to Debs, go late morning as the place will be packed with locals early. Acadia NP and Cadillac Mt will be very crowded with limited parking. You may need to get a pass by lottery to get into the park
The houseboat was a good jumping off point for Boothbay Harbor, Pemaquid Pt lighthouse, Debs. Walking distance from the bars and food in town. Brewery nearby
Again, lobster rolls are overrated, the clam chowder is not

Agree. We stayed at the Harbour Cottage Inn in Southwest Harbor. Bar Harbor is just on the other other side of Acadia NP, an easy drive. We did some day trips into BH. That was plenty for us. Very busy and touristy.

going there at the end of this month. Staying one night in Tenants Harbor and then four nights in Bar Harbor. Already have the reservation for Cadillac Mountain sunset and a Bar Harbor sunset cruise. Just plan to do some hikes, kick back in town drinking beer, and lounging by our hotel pool. And of course eating lot of different dishes.

The plan is to be chill.
