Om
Raske fakta: The cliffs offer panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and showcase 40 architectural masterpieces from America's Gilded Age mansions. Walkers often spot seals and a variety of seabirds along the rocky shoreline, adding nature's charm to the experience.
Høydepunkter: The pathway runs along the edge of 3.5 miles of jagged coastline, where you can peer into natural tide pools teeming with marine life. At a certain point called 'The Brenton Point,' waves famously crash dramatically against the rocks, creating spectacular sprays visible from a safe viewing area.
Insidertips
- Wear sturdy shoes; parts of the trail are uneven and rocky.
- Bring a camera or smartphone for dramatic ocean and mansion shots.
- Avoid weekends if possible to escape the crowds and enjoy peaceful views.
- Pack a light jacket as coastal winds can be strong even on sunny days.
