Everywhere: Places: Grindstone Rocks

Grindstone Rocks by Linda Batey

Giant granite rocks demonstrate the ocean's power on the Maine Coast. Evergreen trees stand as a backdrop, as do wild aromatic roses.

I try to stay clear of the crowded spots on the Maine Coast; the Winter Harbor area is like going back in time, and there are few people. Head out Grindstone Ave, past the oldest golf course in the country, and when the road ends, you are at Grindstone Point. Climb the rocks, smell the salty, rose-scented air, and relax. You just might see a bald eagle soaring overhead!
