    Tips

    Hiking

    The inlet formed by Great Head and Otter Cliffs creates a channel for summer waves rolling up to Sand Beach. These waves carry shell material which is pounded to a fine powder by rocks like Old Soaker, which may be seen guarding the Newport Cove off the coast of Great Head. This special formation, visible in totality from Gorham Mountain, is the reason for the uniquely soft sand of Sand Beach.
