Otter Cliff
A pink granite sea cliff about 33 m high, one of the tallest oceanside cliffs on the U.S. Atlantic coast and a popular climbing site.
Otter Cliff stands along the southern section of Ocean Path, where granite walls drop vertically into the sea. At about 33 m high, it is one of the tallest headlands on the North American Atlantic coast. From the top you can watch the waves crash and see the distant lighthouse and islands, and at sunrise the sea turns golden. The cliff face is a popular climbing spot, and you often see climbers rappelling down. There are no guardrails at the edge, so take care. It can be reached from the Otter Cliff parking area or on foot along Ocean Path.
