Witness a rare sight at Sand Beach, where the ocean meets a beach made of sand and shell, now framed by a tranquil, wintry landscape. See ice formations and gaze out at the amazing vistas from the Otter Cliffs. At Jordan Pond you can capture stunning photos of the frozen pond set against the snow-dusted Bubbles mountains. Sieur de Monts Spring, Eagle Lake, and so much more awaits! Take the time to explore trails along the way, or enjoy the views from inside the heated 4-wheel drive Jeep Cherokee.
