SCENIC SEACOAST WALKS
Kennebunk, ME
Out of the way, privately owned and limited in access, Parson’s is a special
spot for people who appreciate and respect nature. Off-season it remains a lovely
walk on a brisk day on the Maine coast.

Mouth of the Connecticut River, CT
Est 1886, 49 feet, light 58 feet abovewater.
Saybrook Breakwater Lighthouse has an honored place on a special Connecticut
license plate as a symbol of the effort to preserve Long Island Sound. It’s a
picturesque structure that’s unfortunately difficult for the general public to
view from land.

SCENIC SEACOAST WALKS
Ogunquit, Maine
You won’t find a prettier stretch of Maine coastline with an easier walking trail.
Sure it gets crowded sometimes, but not in the fall, winter and spring. Great
views of the white Ogunquit beach, and for tourists, shopping on both ends.

|
Narragansett Bay, RI
Established 1852. (also "Sandy Point")
25 feet tall; light is 28 feet above water
Prudence Island can be visited by taking a ferry from Bristol, but the island
is hardly a tourist destination; there are no hotels or restaurants. The lighthouse
is a pleasant walk of a bit over a mile from the ferry.

Off Boston Bay, MA
Est 1847, current light 1860
114 feet, 85 feet abovewater.
Historian Edward Rowe Snow called this waveswept sentinel "America’s Most Dangerous
Beacon," and anyone who’s cruised near it is certain to agree.

SCENIC LOCAL WALKS
Greenland, NH
The house is the oldest brick building in New England built from bricks made right on the property. But we’re more interested in the preserved land here where new trails along a little river are now open to the walking public.
|
|
Narragansett Bay, RI
Built 1899
53 feet high; 54 feet above water.
This Narragansett Bay beacon shines brightly today because a band of local preservationists
refused to give up. Few lighthouses have been so close to the edge of oblivion.

SCENIC LOCAL WALKS
Durham, NH
Attending college at UNH is, in itself, a scenic daily walk, especially in the
autumn. Just beyond the Field House and the Whittemore Center, walkers get a test
of the rural school, the way it used to be.
|
|
Boothbay Harbor, Maine
Est 1883
35 feet tall; light is 36 feet above water
Haunted lights? Legend says that, long before this light was built, ships were
warned away from the spot by ghosts.

SCENIC LOCAL WALKS
South Berwick, ME
Among the best woodsy river walks in the Seacoast. Smooth trails in pine forest, but one path leads to the 18th century Hamilton House that stands majestically above the Salmon Falls River. Simply lovely and not far from canoe pond and historic cemetery site.
