6. Arcadia National Park

The cloudless sky inevitably had to end and so we endured our first rainy day. We opted to take the National Park tourist loop drive which wended its way down the coast with stop offs for some of the highlights. There was a super one hour stroll round Great Head and Sand Beach but we soon tired of busy car parks and tourists so went off and explored quieter parts of the island. We found some tasty lobster rolls for lunch - another 'must try' local dish for these parts. I did learn something new too when we drove along Somes Sound, that a fiard is a small fjord with much less steep sides.
