Caines Head Trail from Lowell Point
Craig Talbert · CC BY 2.0

A trail follows the shoreline at low tide, then climbs through forest to a ruined fort above the bay. The beach section is tide dependent, so plan carefully. It is a rewarding half day walk with fewer people than Exit Glacier.

Good to know

  • Check the tide table
  • Take a headlamp if you go into the bunkers
Best time
