A wonderful walk (just under .8 miles one way) by a little beach and then along the Little River to the ocean’s edge where you have views of Goose Rocks Beach and the 13-acre Timber Island. You can cross the roughly 0.2-mile land bridge at low tide to reach the island. (Helpfully, there is a tide chart posted on the mainland point.) Once on the island, you can do a windblown 0.6-mile circumnavigation of its rocky shores. This is also a great place to launch a kayak or canoe to explore the estuary!
Directions: There is limited parking. From Pool Street (Route 9), take Granite Point Road to the very end, about 1.5 miles. You’ll see a kiosk and room for about 10 cars.

This Nature Conservancy preserve encompasses more than 1,200 acres of land, and the trail is 1.8 miles there and back. No dogs are allowed. The heath is an amazing place to visit. The palette of the landscape and the bog plants are beautiful, the place has an enchanted feel. The multicolored boardwalk makes walking comfortable, dry and very fun.
Directions: Drive northwest on the Buxton Road (Rt. 112) for 1.7 miles after passing over the Maine Turnpike. A parking area, marked by a TNC sign, on the right side of the road may be missed as it sits behind a border of trees. Look for a small Nature Conservancy sign at the entrance to the parking lot.

A wonderful open piece of land that juts out into the ocean, with vast views that include an island with a lighthouse. (Wood’s Island.) Dogs aren’t allowed on this Audubon preserve. The walk is about .8 miles one way, if you walk around the point to the end of the path. Directions: Park along Lester B Orcutt Blvd. The entrance to the park is on the left.
