The 1 ¼ mile footpath offers breathtaking views of the bold Atlantic coast while meandering by tangled bayberry and bittersweet bushes, gnarled shrubs of fragrant pink and white sea roses and shaded alcoves formed by wind-twisted trees. The sedimentary rocks and glacial features along the footpath represent nearly a half billion years of earth's history framed by unspoiled scenic vistas. The Marginal Way is one of the finest, most spectacular and most accessible panoramas of rocky coastal shoreline in Maine.
