Breathtaking views of the Atlantic. Trail starts at car park. After a few minute flat walk the trail splits into a right and left trail.
Challenging- Trail path to the right climbs over many rocks, like rock walls.
Easy- Trail path to the left is any easy walk up to the same views of the Atlantic. Just ensure you take the same path back down to the car park for any easy walk back.

Easy trails along the Ocean. We like to park in Otter Parking lot and walk either way on Ocean Path. The Ocean Path offers views of the classic Maine coast with many stopping points for enjoying the picturesque scenery and taking pictures. It takes the hiker past Thunder Hole to culminate at Otter Point with views of Cadillac and Dorr Mountains.
