Nestled in the heart of Mount Desert Island, Somesville is the island’s oldest settlement and a quintessential example of classic Maine charm. Founded in the 18th century, this picturesque village sits along the shores of Somes Sound, a stunning fjard that cuts through the island, offering breathtaking water views and a peaceful atmosphere.
Somesville is known for its iconic white footbridge, a favorite photography spot that spans a tranquil mill pond, reflecting the village’s postcard-perfect beauty. The town is rich in history, with the Somesville Museum & Gardens preserving its legacy as the first European settlement on the island.
Despite its quiet, residential nature, Somesville is centrally located, providing easy access to both Acadia National Park and the surrounding towns of Mount Desert Island. Whether you’re drawn to its historic charm, scenic landscapes, or peaceful waterfront, Somesville offers a serene retreat in one of Maine’s most treasured locations.

About the area
Mt. Desert Island, located off the coast of Maine, is a picturesque and diverse destination that offers a blend of natural beauty, outdoor adventure, and quaint coastal charm. As the largest island off the coast of Maine, it's most famously known as the home of Acadia National Park, a haven for nature enthusiasts and one of the most visited national parks in the United States.
The park itself is a treasure trove of biodiversity and scenic vistas, with a landscape that includes mountains, woodlands, lakes, and an ocean shoreline. Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the U.S. East Coast, provides breathtaking panoramic views, especially at sunrise. The park's 158 miles of hiking trails cater to all levels of experience, from the leisurely Ocean Path to the more challenging Precipice Trail.
For those who prefer to explore by car, the 27-mile Park Loop Road offers stunning coastal scenery and access to key landmarks, including Sand Beach, Thunder Hole, and Jordan Pond. The carriage roads, a network of well-maintained trails, are perfect for biking, horseback riding, and winter sports like cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
The island's maritime culture is rich and ever-present, with charming harbor towns like Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor, and Southwest Harbor. These communities offer a glimpse into the island's history and culture, with local museums, art galleries, and shops that showcase the work of Maine artisans. The local cuisine is a highlight, with fresh seafood being a staple—lobster, clams, and fish are served up in a variety of ways, from casual lobster shacks to fine dining establishments.
For those interested in marine life, boat tours provide opportunities to see seals, porpoises, and, during certain times of the year, whales. Kayaking and sailing are also popular activities, allowing visitors to experience the island's beauty from the water.
Mt. Desert Island's slower pace of life, natural beauty, and friendly communities make it an ideal destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Whether you're seeking outdoor adventure, wildlife encounters, or simply a peaceful retreat in a picturesque setting, Mt. Desert Island offers an experience that is both rejuvenating and unforgettable.
