Located off Ocean Point near East Boothbay ME, I spied an egret nesting near the light and though this would be an interesting shot.  500mm, f/6.3, ISO 800 @ 1/5000.  Taken from Ocean Point Walk.
Stumbling along the rocky coast with a 20kg backpack, I found this beautiful pattern of rocks jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean -- my own little version of Land's End.

9/10 Wonderful! (451 reviews)
This was an end of season visit. The property, breakfast, and staff couldn’t be nicer. Sadly, pool was closed up for the season along with the restaurant. Dining options were very limited, even in town due to it being post Columbus Day.

The Inn is on a road with a 30 mile-an-hour limit but it is curvy and people go faster... not a great option for runs or walks imo. East Boothbay General Store, a few miles from the Inn, has super sandwiches, baked goods, salads, wine, gifts, etc
