May Mystery Harbor: Bass Harbor, Tremont Maine

The May Mystery Harbor is Bass Harbor in Tremont, Maine! If there ever was a place to be on Mount Desert Island during even the crowded summer season, this is it. The yellow roof on the right marks Thurston’s Lobster, my favorite place on the island to get a seafood lunch with a view. Just out of frame on either side is the busy working waterfront of Bernard, and across the harbor is the ferry terminal to Swans Island and Frenchboro, both great day trips.

It’s on my walk

The yellow awning of Thurston’s Lobster Pound, which leads to their dock out back, is the first clue as to the identity of this location: It’s Bass Harbor. You can see the ferry terminal that goes to Swans Island in the distance. I recognize it because I live in the area and frequently walk around the harbor and go to Thurston’s when they are open during the “season.”
