Morning
The Ocean Path is an easy, mostly level trail running about two miles along the clifftops from Sand Beach past Thunder Hole to Otter Cliff. It parallels the Park Loop Road, so you can walk as much or as little as you like and catch the Island Explorer bus back, all while enjoying some of Acadia's finest ocean scenery.
Getting there from the port
Start at Sand Beach; the path parallels the Park Loop Road.
