Seawall Picnic Area, A well-known and often visited area is the Seawall Picnic Area, one of nature's more dramatic creations. This natural seawall was constructed by waves during storms which also flooded the low lying area to create Seawall Pond - hence the other name for this phenomenon, Storm Beach. The composition of the seawall varies from well-rounded cobblestone to angular granite rocks and outcroppings.

Cadillac Mountain, Cadillac Mountain is considered the most interesting point about Acadia National Park. Visitors spend hours climbing over the bald granite. Cadillac Mountain is 1,530 feet tall. It is Acadia National Park's highest mountain. Many people come to Cadillac Mountain in the pre-dawn hours to watch the sun rise or they come to watch the sun set.

Echo Lake, Echo Lake, located on Route 102, provides excellent lifeguards swimming at Echo Lake Beach, a sandy, park-maintained strand nestled in a cove at the lake's southern tip. Trails leading up Beech Mountain and Beech Cliff are accessible from the Echo Lake parking lot.

Long Pond, The northern end of Long Pond is accessible for swimming and canoeing at Pond's End on Route 102 West. Canoe rentals are available at Pond's End through a privately owned firm. The southern end of Long Pond is accessible from the Seal Cove Road in Southwest Harbor, although swimming and canoeing are not allowed at this end of the pond.

Park Loop Road, The Park Loop Road is 27 miles long. From this road you can see such sights as Cadillac Mountain, Sand Beach, Otter Cliffs, Thunder Hole, Bubble Pond and Jordan Pond House in the shortest time.

Sand Beach, This salt-water beach is considered the most popular beach in Acadia National Park. Located on the Ocean Drive section of the Park Loop Road, the beach is actually composed of very little sand, the bulk of its broad surface being made up of billions of particles of crushed sea shells .

Seawall Campground, Across from the entrance to Seawall Picnic Area is the park-operated Seawall Campground. Open from late May until late September, it operates on a first-come-first-served-basis and features an amphitheater for evening slide programs about the park.

Thunder Hole, is located along the Park Loop Road. People come from all over to witness the powerful sound that it creates when the water forces into a narrow channel and traps air which then creates the thunderous explosion shooting water back up to forty feet. This can be seen during high tide.
