| North of Mount Desert Island is Scoodic Point also part of the Park. |
| Scoodic Point is more exposed to the ocean than most of the main Island which is protected by various islands. |
|
| The result is more sever storms and waves. |
| Sometimes rocks the size of grapefruit are hurled hundreds of feet as the waves pound the shoreline. |

| From the pier we can see across the water to Bald Porcupine Island. |

| As the tide begins to go out, one can just barely make out the rocky bar which connects the mainland with Bar Island. |
|
| From another location and the tide completely out, we see the bar completely exposed. Twice each day for several hours one can walk to Bar Island from the mainland. |
