Thunder Hole in Acadia National Park is a popular spot for visitors to see the power of the sea first hand. Known for its thundering noise, and big splashes, it can be a great place to visit.

But what’s it really like? These videos tell the story best.

It’s known for being very loud … and wet.

But, if you go with good humor, it can be a lot of fun to see and experience. These folks sure enjoyed it.

Of course, it can be dangerous too. Leading up to, during and after storms — from hurricanes and tropical storms to smaller storm systems, it can be rough and dangerous. At those times, the observation area is closed for safety.

But often, it’s pretty calm, like in this video.

Still, it’s pretty amazing. And sometimes, like in this winter video, it’s absolutely majestic.
