The “best time” to visit Mount Desert Island depends upon your personality. The seasons change dramatically on the Island throughout the year. This provides a best time for a wide range of personality types. After all, each season fits people differently.

Some would say that the summer season is not long enough here. But in a way, our summer is far more valuable than the ideal conditions one would find in places where the weather is warm and sunny year-round. For it is the long Winter nights which make Bar Harbor, Maine and New England Summers the best you’ll ever experience!

Here on Mount Desert Island, there is a season that is just right for your personality type as well.
