You won’t have to register before driving to Acadia’s Sand Beach or Thunder Hole until 2022

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • November 13, 2020

After holding a trial period last month for requiring reservations for private vehicles on Cadillac Mountain and Ocean Drive, Acadia National Park is not going to require them for motorists who want to visit Sand Beach or Thunder Hole in 2021. The park is moving ahead with requiring reservations next summer for motorists who want to drive to the top of Cadillac Mountain, and is likely to require vehicle reservations for Ocean Drive — a scenic stretch of the Park Loop Road with popular sites such as Sand Beach and Thunder Hole — in 2022.
