Description
Shackford Head is located at one of America's easternmost points on the Atlantic coast. This area features 2.5 miles of undeveloped shoreline marked by pebble beaches and sheltered coves. A nature trail from the parking lot winds through the woods to a rocky headland, offering beautiful views of Cobscook Bay. There are also scenic views of two Canadian islands. An archaeological fossil area is located on the beach itself. Facilities are limited here. Two sites on Shackford Head contain some of the oldest marine fossils in Maine, dating back about 412 million years.
