Sunrise at Sand Beach

Location:
Sand Beach

While Cadillac Mountain is known for being a prime spot to watch the sun come up – Sand Beach, along with Otter Point and Otter Cliffs offers a great alternative. Stay cozy in your car with a clear view along the Park Loop Road, walk down the stairs to Sand Beach, or park at Otter Point and meander along the Ocean Path to sit on the rocks and enjoy the colors as light breaks across the sky.

Bonus tip: Bring a thermos of coffee, a blanket, and a flashlight to stay warm and light your walk before the sun wakes. Enjoy the solitude by arriving 30 minutes before sunrise to settle in.
