Seal Harbor, on Route 3, is just outside of Acadia National Park. It can be reached from the Park Loop Road south of the Jordan Pond House. There is a small beach and a parking lot with restrooms. A sidewalk goes off to the left and leads to a small boat ramp and pier, which has good views back toward Acadia. Many of the nearby islands can be seen from the beach and pier. This is a good stopping point on the way to Northeast Harbor.

In this view the beach is at the top left.
