It's pretty hard to find a non-scenic lighthouse.
The next day we drove south down the coast to Ogunquit, where we admired ridiculously-priced oceanfront property and walked the beach. It was amazing how hard locals were working to to sun themselves on the beach, despite the wind and cool temps.
A short walk in a wildlife refuge.
Sunset at Kennebunkport.
After meeting up with everyone the next day, we made the drive up to Acadia NP. An Island near the coast, about half of it is set aside as a national park. After booking an entry time (COVID-related), we drove into the park and found a good spot along the road to park. Unfortunately fog had moved in, spoiling some of the views. Below are some photos of the ocean path, still scenic though.
Here is Thunder Hole, sadly not enough swell for major noise making.
Hoping to get above the fog we decided on the steep/strenuous Beehive trail.
Lots of ladders and sheer drops, it was a fun climb/hike. Unfortunately, a member of our party discovered they were actually acrophobic! Not the best time to have a panic attack, but we all survived to tell the tale.
Here is the view from the top; you can use your imagination to fill in some great sea and shore.
