Description

Trundy Point represents some of the best undeveloped rocky headland habitat for which the Cape Elizabeth landscape is known. The short trail loops from the beach over bluffs to a rocky promontory jutting into the ocean. It provides expansive views of Casco Bay, including the opportunity to view five lighthouses from atop this rock outcrop. A prime spot for birding, the wave-battered rocks offer the chance to see uncommon and beautiful seabirds such as guillemots, razorbills, long-tailed ducks, and harlequin ducks. The sheltered pocket beach is ideally situated for picnicking and swimming.
