Beachfront getaways often come with a hefty price tag, but a Maine vacation destination is proving otherwise, according to Upgraded Points.
The travel website analyzed the average cost of beachfront vacation homes and hotels across 75 popular U.S. beach towns and ranked Bar Harbor, Maine, among the top 10 least expensive beach towns.
“On average, a weeklong vacation with beachfront accommodations will run you roughly $3,353,” Upgraded Points wrote. “If you split this with family and friends, this price tag may not seem as daunting, but it still packs a punch.”
In Bar Harbor, the average price of a weeklong stay is below average, at $2,254, according to the site. Bar Harbor ranked No. 10 on the list, so vacationers can pay even less in nine other destinations such as Cedar Key, Fla., Ocean City, Maryland, and Myrtle Beach, S.C.
