    We had an amazing day hiking and sight seeing. It was a breezy day with light snow and ice covered trails. The views are amazing this time of year. The surf was raging and the sun was shining 🌟. The walk along the path to the big stairs is an easy one. The small town is a beautiful New England fishing town. Definitely worth a visit 🙂

    Incredible place to enjoy the Maine coast line. Nice, short, easy oath along the cliff that is safe. Easy parking nearby in the road. Bring a picnic lunch and your own water. There are no restrooms anywhere close by but there are trash cans. A lovely place for a family outing.

    This gorgeous trail runs along a ridge with grand views of waves crashing against very large rocks below. There are rocks to climb and tide pools to explore. Great for kids, too. Absolutely a must see!

    Just a great area to sit on the rocks and just vibe with the world. Great place especially if you like hanging out at the ocean without any beach goers.

    Pay attention to the parking signs and be respectful of the residents. They're sharing this amazing view from a trail through their backyards! Pictures don't do it justice! Gorgeous even in moderate fog.

    Beautiful little path along the rocky coast and some cottages. Parking can be difficult to find at first, follow signs not voice guidance.

    We had a blast climbing and enjoying the sites! It’s a definite must to come here

    This place is beautiful. This time of year (July) if it's been rainy, there are some amounts of mud & water you may have to track through, so proper footwear is recommended. Fantastic little walk that leads among gorgeous cliffs. I'll always love this place.

    A nice coastal walk. Interesting geological features. Tide pools with crabs. There's an established path and you can wander to the rocks. Be aware it can be tricky footing on the rocks. People seemed to turn around near the end as it looks like private property. But there are fading red blazes on the rock to mark the trail.

    Beautiful and unique rock formations. Walking trail is easy and yet plenty of options to climb down the rocks.

    Lovely relatively short walk along the coast. Some uneven areas but not a difficult hike
