Somesville, Maine

Somesville, Maine, the oldest settlement on Mount Desert Island (dating from 1761), is a picturesque little village located at the northern end of Somes Sound - the only fjord on the east coast of the United States. Somesville (photos) is actually not a township at all but part of the municipality of Mount Desert, Maine, whose office is located in Northeast Harbor. There is gorgeous scenery here year round including beautiful views of Somes Sound, its inlets, and the mountains to the east. The Acadia Repertory Theatre (207) 244-7260 is one of its main attractions. Acadia National Park is close by to the east and south. (View Somesville photos)
