Parsons Way Trail - Kennebunkport Maine Hikes

A cliff walk around the bold shorefront of Cape Arundel to Spouting Rock and Blowing Cave, with dramatic views of the ocean. Parsons Way is named after Henry Parsons, who gave the land to Kennebunkport “so that everyone may enjoy its natural beauty.” We’ve met a few power walkers on Parsons Way, but this is a walk meant for dallying, so you can savor the surf, the spouting sea clefts, and the ever-changing views as you round Cape Arundel. Special Features: high surf and ocean spray, wave-carved blowholes, and long coastline views.
