Seawall

A natural cobblestone seawall on the island's southwest side, with rounded stones piled up by big waves, tide pools, and few people at sunset.

The Seawall is a natural ridge of cobblestones piled up by storm waves along the southwest coast, stretching several hundred meters. At low tide you can explore the tide pools among the rocks for starfish, barnacles and seaweed. Nearby are a picnic area and a seawall campground, and the Wonderland Trail and coastal paths are gentle and easy to walk. Located on the island's quieter side, which sees fewer visitors, it suits an evening visit paired with Bass Harbor Head Light.
