Acadia National Park is characterized by granite cliffs jutting out from the roaring tide on Mount Desert Island off the eastern coast of Maine. The spectacular array of mountains and ocean yields a stunning display of beauty that makes this one of America's most sought-after national parks. A looped access road is provided to the main attractions ? Sand Beach, composed of shells broken by time and tide; Thunder Hole, a ravine carved out by the ocean waves that produces loud bellows when the tidal conditions are just right; Otter Cliffs, forests, and clean blue lakes. But, most of the park's 3 million tourists take to the trails, rather than their cars, for a more intimate look at nature..
