Despite its location on what is called the "Quiet Side" of Mount Desert Island, this charming harbor community has wonderful, unique shops, art and craft galleries and fantastic places to eat. If you want to cruise to some of the other islands just off shore, you can catch a boat at Southwest Harbor.
The harbor is generally full of sailboats, private and commercial yacht and fishing boats. The community is known for the two yacht building companies located here and for the Wendell Gilley Museum of Bird Carving.
