Learn more about Winter Harbor

Take a boat tour to see puffins and seals from Winter Harbor's scenic waterfront, where local fishermen bring in fresh Maine lobster daily. Nearby Schoodic Peninsula in Acadia National Park offers spectacular coastal hiking trails and tide pools teeming with marine life.

This is a particularly pleasing view from Raven's Nest.  The Sun was able to peek through every now and then through the mist and clouds.  The tide below as it moved in and out made the rounded rocks on the beach make a pleasing "clacking" sound as the tide receded.  Subtle strength, not so subtle result.  - Acadia National Park.
