Bar Harbor is the rare girls trip destination where everyone gets what they came for: the friend who wants to hike the Beehive, the friend who wants a lobster roll and a nap, and the friend who booked the whale watch before anyone agreed to it. This guide covers where to stay, which hikes are worth the early alarm, the best sunset spots on the quiet side, where to drink after dinner, and a day-by-day itinerary so nobody has to be the planner. Cadillac sunrise included. You’ll cry. That’s normal.
