Fun Facts

Standing at 110 feet, Otter Cliff offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and is a popular spot for rock climbers.

The cliff is composed of pink granite, which is part of the Cadillac Mountain granite formation, dating back to the Devonian period.

This stunning natural feature is located within the park, which was established in 1916 and is one of the oldest national parks east of the Mississippi River.

The cliff was used as a location for a radar station to detect German U-boats along the Atlantic coast.

Many visitors gather here early in the morning to witness the first rays of sunlight hitting the rugged coastline.

The area is home to various seabirds, including puffins and eagles, as well as marine life like seals and porpoises.

This scenic drive offers easy access to the cliff and other attractions within Acadia National Park.
