ACADIA NATIONAL PARK ATTRACTIONS - Schooner Head ROAD Ocean Path

There are a number of secret locations within Acadia National Park, areas of the park they don't promote or mark in any way, such as Anemone Cave, the Cadillac Mountain Waterfall and Compass Harbor to name a few.  Compass Harbor features a nice nature trail along with two beaches, yet for unexplained reason it just doesn't get promoted.
Much like Compass Harbor, parking at the Schooner Head Road Ocean Path is very limited, at a single small dirt parking area just before High Seas, property of Jackson Labs.  At the very start of this path, in front of the parking area and to the left are foundations and further to the left an unusual stone well, now filled.  You followed the unmarked road, now reduced down to a path, down through the woods where it turns to the left and runs parallel to the ocean which you can usually see through the trees.  At any spot along here one can venture off the worn path and make their way directly to the ocean, but if you continue along the worn path you will come to a well worn path which leads to the ocean and a long rough beach.  Off to the left is a small bald island that is almost certain to be covered with birds, straight ahead is another, more distant island, home to the Egg Rock Lighthouse.  If you have a camera with a zoom you can get a pretty decent photo of the lighthouse from this beach, the photo I took and will include below was taken with a 300 mm lens.
You will usually find one or two people along the waters edge looking for sea glass, drift wood or sea life in the left behind seaweed.  There are two small cliffs, one to the far right and one to the far left where ocean waves come crashing in against while on the beach you get that classic coastal sound of water washing over stones than making that sucking sound as the water recedes back out to sea and I find it very relaxing there.
Now if you did not turn left and head toward the ocean, the main path continues to road 3 on the map, left takes you out to the Schooner Head Road, while right takes you to a nearby cliff where the ocean can be viewed through the trees.  To the left of the cliff in the woods are foundations.  Also to the right, but you have to work your way through brush to reach them.
