Bar Harbor Shore Path   Sailboat as seen from the Shore Path Says Kevin Corcoran Beginning of Shore Path near the Bar Harbor Town Pier Says Kevin Corcoran The Bar Harbor Shore Path makes for an easy, very pleasant 1/2 mile stroll along the waterfront in the resort village of Bar Harbor. Acadia National Park essentially engulfs Bar Harbor, rendering this village a very popular tourist destination. The Shore Path runs from the Town Pier south to a point where     you can take a footpath to the end of Wayman Lane, where you can return to the heart of Bar Harbor's downtown. Lining the path on the land side are several resorts, inns, bed and breakfasts and well-kept private homes. The seaside vista offers very agreeable views of the waters of Bar Harbor, with Bald Porcupine Island, Burnt Porcupine Island, Sheep Porcupine Island and Bar Island all featured. At the Town Pier end of the path, a combination of lobster boats, pleasure craft and tourism boats dot the water. It's not unusual to spot cruise ships up the shore near the Bar Harbor - Nova Scotia Ferry Terminal. On a clear night, the stars are rather brilliant from the vantage point of   the Shore Path and the Milky Way is easily seen, particularly the further south you go from the Town Pier.
