- Sand Beach - Straight ahead lies Sand Beach. Although this small stretch of sand is less than 300 yards long, it remains one of the top swimming spots in Acadia. The cliffs on either side provide shelter to the cove, creating a picturesque setting for beach enthusiasts. If you’re looking for some beach fun, this is the only sandy beach along the trail, so feel free to explore! Just be ready for some very chilly water!
Note: This 1.2-mile-long tour highlights the key attractions of Acadia’s Ocean Path in 1-2 hours.
Purchase once, enjoy for a year! Perfect for extended stays and return visits over the next 12 months.
-
Thunder Hole - Ahead is one of the most striking locations on Acadia’s coastline: Thunder Hole! If you arrive a couple of hours before high tide, you might already understand how it got its name.
-
Monument Cove - On the left is Monument Cove. To view it, turn left and follow the short walking path through the trees. In just a hundred feet, it opens up to a stunning vista from atop a flat rocky cliff.
-
Sand Beach Overlook - Approaching on our left is Sand Beach Overlook, providing excellent views of the beach we visited at the start of our tour. Look out for the small trail to the overlook on the left.
-
Thunder Hole Gift Shop - Need a rest? Or perhaps a souvenir to remember your trip to Acadia? The Thunder Hole Gift Shop is coming up on our right. The shop also offers restrooms for customers.
-
Otter Cliff - The cliff just ahead is called “Otter Cliff.” It rises 110 feet above the sea and offers some of the finest views on the Ocean Path! You might assume the cliff is named after sea otters swimming offshore, but that’s not the case. In fact, there are no sea otters here at all! So what’s the story?
-
Otter Point Overlook - You are now walking toward the southernmost tip of this section of Mount Desert Island: Otter Point Overlook. You can remain on the path and take photos from there, or you can venture down onto the rocks closer to the water. However, be cautious if you leave the walking path, as the rocks can be wet and slippery.
-
Gorham Mountain Trail - On our right, just across the Park Loop Road, is the Gorham Mountain Trail. This moderately challenging 3.5-mile hike ascends nearly 700 feet and offers some truly breathtaking views along the way. Feel free to explore if you have about 90 minutes to spare!
-
Boulder Beach - We are passing Boulder Beach on our left. True to its name, this 400-foot stretch of beach is entirely covered in large boulders! But how does that happen? What causes a beach to be made up of boulders instead of sand?
