Yes, an aid to hikers; but also, on this seaside headland exposed to heavy weather, this rustic stairway eliminates a bare dirt path subject to damaging erosion.

Goldenrod Stairs, on the rocks ...

The pathway from the upland of Boot Head Preserve down to the curving beach (rocky shingle) of Boot Cove. Here, privately owned property is directly adjacent to acreage purchased by conservation organizations, with the focus of both maintaining its natural state and allowing public access.

L. L. Wall has posted:

This is near the causeway connecting Moose Island (Eastport Maine) and the mainland, at Pleasant Point Indian Reservation. [Wife says, "why are we stopping here again?"] This lobster boat is probably operated by members of the Passamaquoddy First Peoples tribe. A part of a treaty between these First Peoples and the State of Maine in the 1970's said that the Passamaquoddys were subject to Maine fishing laws and regulations ... and the current generation of native fishermen is really unhappy about being thus restricted, wanting to fish using traditional and historic fishing methods, and catch limits. It is said some are simply ignoring these "white man's rules".

Brooks Cove in the Mist

L. L. Wall has posted:

Oh, Ipernity "Location" name is not right. This is an steep inlet on the south coast of Boot Head peninsula, protected by Maine Coast Heritage Trust. Lubec Maine is more than 15 kilometers away: a village, not this wild coast.

Cliff height here is about 13 meters.

And, a short distance west of here is even a more wild rugged bit of coastline. I missed the trail to it this time (and it is labelled as a "beach" on the local map, which I wasn't interested in anyway; so I wasn't diligent in searching). Will try harder next time, hopefully at high tide after a storm.

Swimming and Diving Not Advised

South shore of Boot Head with Hurricane Henri offshore; an area protected by Maine Coast Heritage Trust. Cliff height here is about 13 meters.

(Realty agents trying to sell the last remaining parcels of oceanside land in Downeast Maine call this "crashing surf"; in this instance, realtors are telling the truth. Preservation and conservation societies are in a race with private buyers to acquire this same oceanfront land.)

Quoddy Cliffs

Under gray skies, these cliffs: ponderous, massive, implacable.

Cliff height toward the top right of this shot is over 25 meters.

And "watching the tide roll away" here is serious business: about 6 - 7 meters variation high-to-low tide.

Background is Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick Canada; a frequent backdrop for many seaward shots on Maine's "Bold Coast".

Hurricane Henri off the coast, but disappointingly not much wave action here.

For a really "Happy Friday" (with or without fences), try Allagash White draft, brewed in Portland Maine.

The umbrellas were probably supplied by the Budweiser salesman as free advertising. But Sam Adams Lager is a regional New England choice. And there are plenty of good Maine small breweries.
