A Hidden Gem Off the Coast of Bar Harbor Nestled just off the coast of Bar Harbor lies a 2.7-acre 1/2 interest island, a serene and rugged oasis framed by exposed granite ledges and a sandy beach perfect for sunbathing and beachcombing. On the left side, the island's rocky shoreline gives way to deeper waters, making it a prime spot for diving. Beneath the surface, divers can discover remnants of the past — ballast bottles, delicate china shards, and even old clay pipes, while scallops and lobsters move silently across the seafloor. The small beach is a haven for sun worshippers and sea glass collectors, its sands glittering with wave-worn fragments of glass and shell. It's also the perfect spot to gather driftwood for a bonfire as the sun dips low over the horizon. At low tide, the coastline reveals an intricate world of tide pools teeming with starfish, crabs, and anemones — a natural playground for curious explorers. Inland, a stand of wind-sculpted conifers rises from the rocky soil, providing a shady retreat and a perch for seabirds. The scent of pine mingles with the salty breeze, creating a distinctive coastal fragrance that lingers in the air. Despite its modest size, this island offers a captivating blend of natural beauty, maritime history, and coastal charm — a secluded retreat just beyond the bustle of Bar Harbor.
