Hike to the headland
After a short transfer from the port, we’ll arrive at Shackford Head State Park.
Our 2-hour hike takes us through the woods to a rocky headland 173 feet above sea level, passing small, pristine beaches and protected coves. You’ll enjoy views of Campobello Island in New Brunswick, the town of Lubec and Maine. As we hike, keep watch for some of the 28 bird species that nest on the headland here, such as warblers, sandpipers, Common Terns and Bald Eagles.
