About Northeast Harbor
Northeast Harbor is a quiet village in the town of Mount Desert on Mount Desert Island, long known as a discreet summer enclave — once nicknamed “Philadelphia on the rocks” for its old Philadelphia families, including the Rockefellers. Its marina hosts more than 200 summer yachts, and the village center holds shops, galleries, and the Great Harbor Maritime Museum. Year-round it is a small, tight-knit community at the doorstep of Acadia National Park.
