What does a full day of elopement coverage look like? ANYTHING!
But here's a simple example to get your wheels turning.
10:00 Meet for coffee & walk downtown Bar Harbor
11:00 Back to Airbnb to get ready for the ceremony
12:30 Ceremony at Sand Beach
1:00 Photos along the coast & a picnic lunch
4:00 Boat ride
6:00 Photos at Jordan Pond
7:00 Head to Cadillac Mountain for sunset, cake, champagne
A few popular photo locations in Acadia National Park and beyond
Jordan Pond:
Otter Point/Cliffs
Blue Hill Overlook
Best place to see the sunset (if there is one - evenings often get foggy up here). This overlook is actually just below the summit of Cadillac Mountain. It’s easily accessible and a great place for a ceremony with family members in attendance.
Cadillac Mountain:
Very accessible path.
Carriage & Park Roads
Sieur de Monts
A sweet wooded area with a mix of trees and open spaces. Perfect spot to visit in the fall. Includes a long boardwalk trail. Perfect if you LOVE birch trees and foilege. Sieur de Monts Spring is located along Route 3 just south of Bar Harbor and is also accessible by car via the start of the Park Loop Road.
Jessup Path:
Ship Harbor Trail- QUIET SIDE OF ACADIA
One of my favorite spots on the quiet side: Ship Harbor Trail. ( excuse the poor-quality cell phone images that fallow) I think is such a pretty location but these images don't do it justice.

Sandy Beach
A super popular location in Bar Harbor. Not accessible due to crowds July- August. Very beautiful spot.
Little Hunters Beach by Scott Davenport
Super secret spot: inside Acadia- I've been asked not to reveal the exact location.

Taft Point Reserve - Outside of Acadia
Schoodic Point- the quiet side of Acadia
Significantly quieter than the rest of Acadia

Winter Harbor & Frazer Point: OUTSIDE OF ACADIA
Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge: OUTSIDE OF ACADIA
65-70 minutes NORTH from Bar HarborThis location feels like the ends of the earth. Very quiet and you can spend 3-4 hours exploring this location including stopping for a picnic.
Wild blueberries on the trail:
Deer Isle Maine: OUTSIDE OF ACADIA
Accessible by bridge, it's fairly easy to get to Deer Isle. Approx 75 minutes from Bar Harbor. Quiet Island preserve...lower tourist volume.
