  • Join me as I show you my Top 5 non-hiking spots across the West side of Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. Known as the "Quiet Side," of Mount Desert Island, the West side is a beautiful area that includes parts of what is considered Acadia National Park as well as many places that are not. From Nature Preserves to Seaside picnic areas to the famed Bass Harbor Lighthouse!

    we have been going down to Acadia for 25 years from Quebec Canada, and we love the Quietside so much! It is calm, and thats how we like it! I personally love the Seawall, and we often go and take our morning coffee there, listen to the waves crash againts the rocks, and watch the seabirds! we also often spot some harbor seals popping their heads in and out of the water. And the mornings are so beautiful, especially when it is a litthe foggy, and you get to see the fog lift gently as the sun comes out

      It's my favorite side of MDI. My personal favorite spot is Seal Cove personally. The calm cove at sunset is amazing

    Love Acadia! Great tips and suggestions! The forest looked so beautiful! And I love the water! I’m also a sucker for a big chair and a lighthouse! Are you there now?

    Thanks, I grew up in Brewer so I spent a lot of my high school years on the "loud" side of the island. thanks for the tour

      Lol I've never quite heard it called the "loud" side. I'm using that this Summer when I'm back working in Bar Harbor. "Welcome to the loud side folks." 🤣

      It's worth a trip to Acadia. Particularly end of September, early October for the Fall Colors.

    Ship Harbor is great also next to Wonderland, which lives up to it's name.
