Tremont rewards everyday life with ocean views, dark skies, and the quiet side of Mount Desert Island at your doorstep. Centered around the working harbors of Bass Harbor and Bernard, it offers direct access to fleet-fresh seafood, boat launches, and the Maine State Ferry Service to Swan’s Island and Frenchboro. Outdoor time is effortless: the Seawall district of Acadia National Park frames the town with shoreline walks like Wonderland and Ship Harbor, while iconic photo ops at Bass Harbor Head Light are minutes away. Civic services, permits, and local updates are easy to track through the Town of Tremont website, and the Island Explorer’s free, seasonal Island Explorer bus routes make car-free exploring a breeze.
Families appreciate strong local schools. Tremont Consolidated School serves K–8 within the Mount Desert Island Regional School System, with high schoolers attending Mount Desert Island High School. Weekends often mean tidepooling, lobstering traditions on display along the wharves, or a quick jaunt to neighboring Southwest Harbor for coffee and galleries. Bigger dining and museum days in Bar Harbor are an easy drive, while everyday errands and major retailers are close in Ellsworth, the hub of Hancock County.
Whether you’re drawn by sunrise shoreline walks, a year-round, close-knit community, or a smart base for exploring all of MDI, Tremont delivers an enviable balance of privacy and access.
