Description/History

Trundy Point represents some of the best undeveloped rocky headland habitat that the Cape Elizabeth landscape is known for. The property provides expansive views of Casco Bay, including the opportunity to view five lighthouses from atop this rock outcrop. A prime spot for birding, the wave-battered rocks offer the chance to see uncommon and beautiful seabirds such as guillemots, razorbills, long-tailed ducks, and harlequin ducks. This property also features a sheltered pocket beach ideally situated for picnicking and swimming.
