Bar Harbor is nice, but to me it is just a tourist area. Acadia Park, which is close is a world class destination. It is beautiful there and a good place to ride bikes if that is what you are after.
Deer Isle is also beautiful but different. Stonington is classic Maine coast. Rugged, not developed, worker class but if I was going to catch lobsters for a living, that is where I would want to be.
Camden / Rockport area. Classic Maine coast. Really pretty there. Oceanside mountains, rocky coast all over. Nearby islands: Isleboro, North Haven, Vinal Haven. You can take ferry boats to get there.
I am from Belfast, originally. It is up the coast from Camden.. Working class town. It is being taken over by artist types and has gotten beautiful.
You would not go wrong with any of those places.
