Shackford Head juts into the bay just south of town, with easy forest trails leading to open headlands and sweeping views across Passamaquoddy and Cobscook Bays. The main loop to the head is about 1.5 miles each way; wear sturdy shoes and check the tide if you want to explore the cobble beaches below.
