The York Harbor Cliff Walk Is An Otherworldly Destination Near The Maine Border

It’s not hard to find beautiful places to clear your head here in Maine. From the mountains to the forests to the coastal rocks that are so un-mistakenly Maine, nothing is too far from our own backyards. The closer we get to warmer weather, the more we’re thinking about ways to enjoy the great outdoors. Try this beautiful walk for an experience that includes otherworldly beauty.

Of all the walks in the state, this one just might be the most beautiful!

Head to the town of York to experience this a 1 mile out-and-back trail with beautiful views of York Harbor.

The route begins at York Harbor Beach then stretches along the cliff side of the beach.

The trail begins as a paved walkway and in the spring you're likely to find wildflowers and other beautiful plants.

As you continue, the route will go from paved to gravel and become slightly uneven. Those who are unsteady on their feet will want to be extra careful here.

In addition to the views of York Harbor, you'll also be able to see the beach and some of the incredibly impressive homes dotting the coast.

This route is simple, just straight in one direction until the path ends and you turn back.

But that's what makes it so great. Short, simple and absolutely breathtaking is exactly what you want when you're looking to clear your head.

Plan your visit for the end of the day and you'll enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets in the area.

Breathe in, smell that salt air and return back the same way you came.
