Bar Island is a great place for exploring! The sand bar is rather short, but will bring you to Bar Island where the trail continues. Keep in mind that the sand bar is only accessible during LOW TIDE, so be sure to double check with the front desk what the tide schedule is for that day. (Helpful Hint: You are able to cross the sand bar roughly 2hrs. prior to absolute low tide and until 2hrs. after low tide- don’t get caught having to swim back!)
Once you cross the land bridge at low tide, head up some rocks to reach a small access road that goes up into a wooded area. There is a wide path that crosses the interior of the island and leads to some wonderful views of Bar Harbor, including Cadillac Mountain.
