Sullivan offers a front-row seat to Maine’s bold coast, with broad views across Sullivan Harbor to Cadillac Mountain and an easy rhythm that suits year-round living. Residents benefit from convenient U.S. Route 1 access to everyday errands in Ellsworth, the restaurants and tour boats of Bar Harbor, and county services throughout Hancock County. Set between Franklin and Gouldsboro, the town balances peaceful side streets with summertime energy as visitors discover its shoreline and scenic overlooks along the Schoodic National Scenic Byway.
Outdoors, options run wide. Hike Schoodic, Black, or Caribou mountains, swim at Schoodic Beach, or paddle quiet coves within Donnell Pond Public Reserved Land — a vast public preserve minutes from the village. Local trails such as Baker Hill Preserve add family-friendly loops and sweeping bay views, and the town landing makes it simple to get on the water for fishing or sunset cruises.
Education is a point of pride. The modern Charles M. Sumner Learning Campus serves area students with updated facilities, robust arts and STEM programming, and active athletics, while nearby enrichment and dual-enrollment opportunities are within reach in the county seat. Town services, permits, and community announcements are easy to track through the Town of Sullivan.
