Great Head

Great Head Trail crowns a rugged granite headland with sweeping views of Sand Beach, Otter Cliffs and the Atlantic — ideal for dramatic coastline compositions: sheer cliffs, crashing surf, tidal pools and distant islands. Visit at sunrise for soft side-light on the rock or at golden hour for warm tones; storms produce moody long-exposures. Trail is steep and rocky (moderate fitness), park entry fee applies, parking at Sand Beach lot or seasonal shuttle. Weekdays and early mornings reduce crowds;
