We think we’re off to see a lighthouse, but it is the ROCKS that steal the show at Pemaquid Point, at the south end of Maine’s Route 130. Formed hundreds of millions of years ago, these beauties were once deep sea sediments. Hoisted by heat and pressure within the earth’s crust, they changed into the metamorphic combinations we now see. Lighter colored or igneous rocks formed by the solidification of molten magma, cut across the metamorphic rocks. The resulting ragged ledges plunge ever so artfully into the ocean. They provide visitors a place to walk, to wonder in awe, reflect, and admire the unparalleled and fierce beauty of nature.
