Somes Sound Tours

Seawater Bay in the Somes Sound is one of only a few US fjards - glacially carved valleys drowned by the sea.
Sargeant Drive in the fog.
Wander by the water's edge and breathe some fresh air at Somes Sound. It's always relaxing watching the boats as they come and go.

This place for ships to anchor in Mount Desert is well-liked by travelers, so be sure to put it on your travel plans. However, don't end your sightseeing there. There are loads more options waiting for you to experience after Somes Sound. Acadia National Park, Cadillac Mountain, and Otter Cliff are not far away.

8/10 Very Good! (5 reviews)
You will not be disappointed with what you see once you see inside the doors. Beautifully decorated and everything you need, but... it is more like a modular 4-apartment home / b&b - no ocean view, at the end of a dirt road (lots of dust), but a few deer met us as we unpacked. We were skeptical at first, yet pleasantly surprised with our stay. I highly recommend, so long as your expectations are set.
