Monument Cove

Monument Cove, a part of Acadia National Park’s striking coastline, is accessible via the 2.2-mile (3.5-kilometer) Ocean Path. At sunrise, the rocky shore is bathed in a warm, golden light, making it a popular spot for photography. The cove is anchored by a prominent granite monolith, which stands as a defining feature of this area on Mount Desert Island. Nearby, visitors can explore the tidepools, adding to the natural allure and providing a glimpse into the diverse marine life that thrives along the shoreline.
