Hiking
On the hill inside Bar Island, you can get an excellent view of the city when the weather is good, with the mountains of Acadia National Park in the background, including Mount Cadillac. On the side facing away from the city, large cruise ships are anchored during the season.

Hiking
From the shoreline of Bar Island, hikers can look back upon the distant peaks of Champlain Mountain, Huguenot Head, Dorr Mountain, and Cadillac Mountain (left to right) over Bar Harbor. The hike across the Bar Island is easy and if timed properly leaves plenty of time to get back to Bar Harbor before the sandbar disappears.
