Hulls Cove, Bar Harbor, Maine

Hulls Cove, which is actually part of the Mount Desert Island town of Bar Harbor, Maine, is a very nice cove providing an easterly view of the ocean along Route 3. There are several places to stay and a fine restaurant right next to the water.

You may want to begin your exploration of Acadia National Park at the nearby Hulls Cove Visitor Center just off Maine Route 3. The entrance is a short distance on the right after the Hulls Cove inlet. The famous Carriage Roads may be accessed from this location. And, for those wishing to leave the driving to someone else, the Island Explorer Shuttle Bus makes regular stops at the main parking lot.

The Hulls Cove Visitor Center is open seasonally at different hours and closed November 1 through mid-April. For information during the winter months, visit the Park Headquarters on Highway 233 near Eagle Lake, 3 miles west of Bar Harbor.
