Marginal Way

Marginal Way

A 1.25 mile walk along the cliffs with dramatic views of the ocean. The path starts in the village on Shore Road after the Sparhawk Hotel and meanders the coastline to Perkins Cove. Called the Marginal Way because its on the "margin" of the ocean, this is one attraction that is a must.

Marginal Way starts on Shore Road. From the center of town it's just a few blocks to the Sparhawk Motel. The Marginal Way starts behind the Sparhawk. You'll see a little sign on the left side of the street that says "Marginal Way" and has an arrow. As you follow the path, be sure to look at the Sparhawk's flower gardens. They have an incredible number of flowers, and each type is labeled!

The Marginal Way speaks for itself. It has beautiful views of the ocean and the rocky cliffs. There are benches at various points so you can sit and stare. It's a little cruisy, although not abundantly - it's more romantic. The wastebaskets are worth noting. Inexplicably, each one has the name of a virtue printed on it.
