Bass Harbor Head
Bass Harbor Head, at the southernmost point of Mt. Desert Island, is one of the finer spots
for watching the sunset. A white-painted lighthouse crowns the rocky, sea-washed ledge
here. Its flashing red light, visible as far as 13 miles away, has been guiding sailors safely
into port through the nearby rocky reefs since 1858.
9.
Pretty Marsh
After passing through the little fishing community of Bass Harbor, the drive follows the
western branch of Rte. 102 to Pretty Marsh. A trail there switches back and forth through
thick forests to the bayshore, an idyllic spot for picnics and bird-watching.
