✨ What to Know
Along with one of the highest headlands north of Rio de Janeiro, its thousands of rounded boulders in the small cove are the highlight of Otter Cliff. The boulders have been shaped over the centuries by the sea and eroded by both water and against themselves. The deposition by glaciers also contributed to these formations.
Another amazing thing about the Otter Cliff is that the Ocean Path that starts at the Sand Beach arrives at this point. There are many beautiful vantage points along the way and it's all splendid. Also, it’s on the east side of Mount Desert Island, so this whole area is gorgeous to look at, especially at sunrise.
You can also see a bell buoy that holds a historical significance. The location of this bell buoy is off the shore from the cliff. This represents a hidden rock “Spindle”. In 1604, the explorer Samuel de Champlain was sailing around Mount Desert Island and his ship got damaged because of a hidden rock. That’s why he and his crew spent the winter in Otter Cove for safety. It was 16 years before the pilgrims arrived at Plymouth Rock. The reason Maine has so many French-origin names is because it is connected to Champlain's exploration. Also, the area was then known as “New France”.
📍 How to Get There
If you’re driving, you’ll find the Otter Cliffs on the east side of Park Loop Road. It is also around 0.7 miles past the Thunder Hole. And across the road from the Otter Cliffs, you’ll find a small parking area which you can easily access if you arrive early or late in the afternoon. The lot holds around 20 cars. If it’s not available, then continue on Park Loop Road to the Otter Point parking area. From there you can walk the Ocean Path to the Otter Cliffs.
Another great option to get there is to use the free Island Explorer Shuttle Bus, which stops at the Otter Cliffs. And if you’re hiking there, then simply take the Ocean Path trail from Sand Beach, which also passes by Thunder Hole and arrives at Otter Cliffs.
