Located in the lower section of Mount Desert Island, Somes Sound is a very large and scenic deep body of water which was formed by past glacial movement. Back in the day, mariners used to seek protection from storms in the calm waters of the sound and a number of settlements were established along its shores. Today Somes Sound is a Mecca for water sport enthusiasts who can indulge in all their favorite activities. All kinds of boating are popular and canoe, kayak and sailing rentals are available at all the villages along the shoreline. You can join a guided kayaking excursion or hop aboard any number of scenic cruises for a different perspective of Mount Desert Island.
