This NOT so that you can skip paying the $5 (or less), non-enforced (‘honor-system‘ based) ‘Quoddy Head State Park‘ Fees. I always make a point of giving more or paying multiple times. Quoddy Head is a National Treasure.
No, this back entrance is just a way to enjoy the amazing views available on the western side of the ‘Coastal Trail’ without having to hike all the way from the fabled lighthouse. Basically it is a shortcut to some of the better sights. That is it — & that is all.
Yes, it is worth visiting ‘Carrying Cove Beach‘ just to have a gander at its beauty. But, while you are at it, within 0.5 mile you can see some of the iconic views I show above. Hence, why I mention this.
Yes, there is a small brown sign for the beach on ‘South Lubec Road’ & two small pull-ins for cars. They are more or less where you see the start of the ‘flats’ when coming from the lighthouse. So, hard to miss.
