This Maine Destination Named One of the Best in the U.S.

Summer’s calling… and it’s got your name on it, and this is pretty much the perfect way to spend a day.

If you’re already daydreaming about sunshine, road trips, and ocean views, you’ve gotta check out Touropia. It’s a YouTube channel with over 1.4 million subscribers that rounds up some of the coolest places in the world into “best of” lists. And honestly, who doesn’t love a good list—especially when you’re planning summer vacation?

They cover everything, gorgeous landscapes, famous landmarks, islands, wildlife, you name it. Basically, it’s travel overload in the best way possible.

Now, let’s talk about the U.S. There’s no shortage of amazing places to visit, so narrowing it down is no easy task. But they did it—and yep, a classic Maine spot made the cut.

Bar Harbor, on Mount Desert Island, is the gateway to Acadia National Park, and people come from all over the world to see it. But here’s the thing, Acadia is just the beginning.

Come summertime, Bar Harbor is buzzing. You’ve got cute shops to wander through, unreal seafood (seriously, it hits different here), bars, ice cream spots, and plenty of places to stay—whether you’re into cozy B&B vibes or camping under the stars.

And of course, you can’t skip Sand Beach. It’s a must.

Spring is still doing its thing right now, but give it a minute...summer in Maine will be here before you know it. So if you’re not from around here, consider this your sign: start planning that trip. Bar Harbor in the summer? Totally worth it.
