Acadia National Park is, in its own right, an outstanding place. As the highest coastal headlands on the Atlantic, the views are stunning and the flora is truly unique. For visitors looking to get the best experience though, the Great Head Trail Loop traversing the coastline is a must-do. Following the peninsula that leads to the highest viewpoint on the island, the location was once a teahouse from the 1900s and a popular stop. No longer there, the spot is still well-known by artists for the picturesque setting.
