    An hour or two before high tide, waves breaking against a pocket in the rocks trap air and make a thundering boom sometimes audible from up to a mile away. Thunder Hole is one of Acadia's most popular attractions and parking may be difficult in the summer; it is recommended to use the Island Explorer Park Loop bus when possible. Visitors on the lowest viewing tier may get splashed, and for safety reasons it is imperative that all visitors stay within the designated areas.

      Two hours before the flood, the thundering of the water into the rocks is best heard.

        Here the Atlantic crashes so loudly against the rock walls that it sounds like thunder.
