rocky coastline

Acadia's Ocean Path runs from Sand Beach to Otter Point, providing a flat path as a starting point to stepping on to the rocky coastline. The section between Sand Beach and Thunder Hole tends to have a higher concentration of walkers while the sections near Otter Point are much quieter.

I prefer the quieter end, moving from the path to the rocks and back to the path again. It's a good trail for a brisk walk, and it's a good place for quiet contemplation.

If you'd like to learn more about the rocks that make up the park, the National Park Service article Written in Acadia's Rocks is worth reading.
