The French Beach trail will take you to the edge of the earth and back again. While you watch an iceberg drift by and take in everything the panoramic view has to offer, you still can’t help but wonder what lies around the next corner. As you pass Nanny’s Hole, the pounding waves are constantly changing the sheer cliffs around you. Watch the Caplin roll as you walk along French Beach or simply sit and enjoy the view.

Along the Spiller’s Cove Hiking Trail there’s almost as much to do as there is to see. Spend some time at the beach accessed by a staircase and search for any treasures the surf has uncovered. Use the artist easel to create your next piece, finding inspiration in your everchanging surroundings. As you walk along the winding trail, stop to look for an Osprey’s nest or a Whale’s tail. And if you can’t get enough of the sea stacks and coves, you can spend the night using a camping platform.
