My name is Chris Dodge and I love to bring my family along for many adventures. We love to inspire others to get outside too. We have a whole YouTube Channel dedicated to it called Adventuring in the Moment. With videos or writing, I try to bring the best that the outdoors has to offer.
Bar Harbor is a popular destination for Maine residents and outside visitors alike. The town has a lot of history and shares the island with our only national park, Acadia. There are a lot of reasons to visit this famous port town. One very good reason to join in on all the Atlantic fun is the amazing seafood restaurants we have to offer. We feel as though these are great restaurants that really deserve a spotlight and once you visit, we are sure you will say the same.
Bar Harbor is a port town right on Mount Desert Island. The proximity to the sea means fresh and amazing seafood, right from the sea to your plate.
From the classic Down East decorations to their exceptional menu, Getty's has been a Bar Harbor favorite for over 40 years. Once you are done with your meal, make sure to step downstairs for their unique souvenir gift shop.
