A flat gravel path that runs from Agamont Park, behind the Bar Harbor Inn, around the rocky shoreline to Wayman Lane. It is just under a mile each way, takes about half an hour at a stroll, and gives the best free view in town: Frenchman Bay, the Porcupine Islands, and on a clear day Schoodic Peninsula across the water.
The path passes the back gardens of the grand summer cottages that survived the 1947 fire. There are benches at intervals, and a small public swimming spot near the start. Early morning is best — sunrise over the islands is what the painters who summered here came to see.
