A favorite local attraction, the Rockland Breakwater and Lighthouse is a
good choice for an interesting walk as well as providing a different kind of
outdoor experience when visiting the Camden area. The Rockland Breakwater
is rich in history and has been critically important to Rockland Harbor since
it was built. The breakwater is just under a mile long and is a beautiful and scenic
walk on sunny days. However, during bad weather, waves often crash over the
granite breakwater which can make the walk a very wet one. At the end of the pier,
you get a stunning panoramic view of Rockland as well as a glimpse of Owls Head Light
at the entrance of Rockland Harbor on the western side of Penobscot Bay.
