We Mainers are lucky to call this beautiful state home.

From rugged coastlines and welcoming towns to fresh seafood and endless natural wonder, Maine has it all.

And sometimes, all those treasures come together perfectly in one place -- and that place might just be the coastal gem of Bar Harbor.

Bar Harbor is a picturesque town located in the southern part of Downeast Maine. Known for encompassing much of Acadia National Park, it's also a popular tourist destination that attracts visitors from near and far.

Considering that Acadia National Park draws millions of visitors each year, it's no surprise that Bar Harbor receives its fair share of attention -- especially during peak tourist season. It's truly a match made in heaven. Visitors can explore a charming town packed with top-notch restaurants, from casual seafood shacks to upscale dining experiences. Bar Harbor also features a variety of unique shops showcasing local artists, a thriving craft beer scene, and a stunning natural setting that adds to its appeal.

There's also a wealth of outdoor activities beyond Acadia. Whale-watching tours, sailing charters, bike rentals, birding, and coastal hikes are all part of the magic of this Maine town. It's the perfect destination for any nature lover.

With all that in mind, it's no surprise that Bar Harbor was recently included on a list of the most picture-perfect towns in America.

The popular travel site Savored Journeys selected just 15 towns to be included on this exclusive list, with Bar Harbor being the only town from New England selected.

Here's a look at why this iconic Maine town earned a spot on the list.

Bar Harbor is the gateway to Acadia National Park, which means the drive in is packed with coastal views, pine forests, and rocky shores. The town itself is full of New England charm, with seafood shacks, boat tours, and plenty of photo ops. It's a classic coastal road trip destination.

And it really can't be overstated how fortunate it is to have one of the prettiest national parks right in your backyard -- that definitely helps take things up a notch or two.

Congrats once again to Bar Harbor for landing on yet another "best of" list. It may not surprise anyone around here, but it's certainly great bragging rights for a town -- and a state -- that prides itself on natural beauty and charming personality.
