If It’s Free, It’s For Me

Take a stroll along the historic Bar Harbor

Shore Path, which starts at the municipal pier, adjacent to the cruise ship tender dock. Look for the ghosts of the Golden Age as you walk past vintage residences, some of which have been converted to inns. Children used to play with the Hope Diamond on the lawn of one mansion. Check out the “Museum in the Streets,” which allows visitors to stroll through town and learn local history. Pick up a free self-guided map at the information kiosk as you exit the cruise tender pier.
