Eating Out
In Ellsworth most (if not all) restaurants close at 9 pm or earlier so if you are planning to go out to eat plan accordingly. Bar Harbor restaurants stay open later but there are not many late-night options.
What to pack
Unpredictable Weather
The weather can change quickly or be unseasonable warm or cold during your stay. I'd be sure to check the forecast and pack accordingly.
