Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse – Acadia National Park

Overview

Parking is a bit tough and there is a small parking lot, so we would recommend getting there a bit before sunset to try and get a spot. We ended up parking on the side of the road leading up to the parking lot and walked 5 minutes up. There is a path that brings you down on the rocks – definitely go down and stay until the sun fully sets! It was cloudy the day we went and thought we weren’t going to see a full sunset, but it surprised us at the last moment for about a minute.
