Southwest Harbor, Maine, is a charming coastal town nestled on the "quiet side" of Mount Desert Island, a stark contrast to the bustling Bar Harbor. It's renowned for its relaxed atmosphere, rich maritime heritage, and stunning natural beauty. The town itself features a quaint Main Street with charming shops, art galleries, and diverse eateries.

Situated just west of the southern entrance to Somes Sound, a fjord that nearly cuts Mount Desert Island in two, Southwest Harbor is often referred to as the "jewel" of Mount Desert Island, offering a more serene and authentic Maine experience than its eastern counterpart, Bar Harbor, characterized by a working harbor filled with lobster boats, yachts, and sailboats, reflecting its deep connection to the sea.

Southwest Harbor serves as an excellent base for exploring the western half of Acadia National Park, which is generally less crowded. You can access trails like Wonderland Trail, Ship Harbor Nature Trail, Flying Mountain Trail, and Beech Mountain. Echo Lake, with its sandy beach, is also nearby.

The area is famous for its master yacht builders, including the globally recognized Hinckley Company and Morris Yachts, Inc. Visitors can admire stunning yachts in the harbor or even take guided boat tours, lobster cruises, or rent their own powerboats or kayaks to explore the scenic waters and Somes Sound. Other attractions include: 
Wendell Gilley Museum: This unique museum showcases the exceptional works of Wendell Gilley, a pioneer in American bird carving. It features a collection of over 300 of his intricately carved wild birds.
Charlotte Rhoades Park and Butterfly Garden: A delightful mix of perennial and annual flowers attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, offering a peaceful natural escape.
Manset: A picturesque area offering distant views of Bear Island Lighthouse, Sutton Island, Little and Great Cranberry Islands, and the open ocean, ideal for photography. But also one of the best views looking up Somes Sound at the mountain ranges of Acadia.
Bass Harbor Head Light: While technically in Bass Harbor, this iconic lighthouse is a short drive from Southwest Harbor and offers breathtaking coastal views.
Overall, Southwest Harbor offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, outdoor activities, and a laid-back, authentic Maine coastal experience, making it a popular choice for those seeking a more tranquil alternative to the busier tourist hubs on Mount Desert Island.
