Visit the stunning Acadia National Park and spend the morning (or the day) hiking or biking through this extensive natural gem. From beaches to cliffs, this park has it all, just remember to pack your sweater. Maine weather can be notoriously chilly.

 

Take a break for lunch at the Side Street Café. Build your own mac and cheese for $10.95, with a choice of two toppings and the option of gluten-free pasta for an additional $1.50.

 

Taste the local flavors at Atlantic Brewing Company. Take a tour of this local brewery and sample some world-class brews. Hop on one of their daily free tours.

Enjoy your day in Bar Harbor and spend your extra money, about $40, on tips, treats and souvenirs from the park and brewery.
