Cove Road which is the next right after the RT 190 Eastport turnoff. There is a gift shop
on the corner, The Wigwam. About 1/4 mile down the road it forks. Take the right fork
to go to Gleason Cove. It dead ends at the beach.
To get to Loring Cove you take the left fork of the above road. Follow it for about 3
miles, stopping frequently for the most spectacular views you will see of the
Passamaquoddy Bay. You will come to a right turn and should see a sign for Loring
Auto Body Shop. Take that road about 1/8 mile where it turns sharply left. Loring Auto
Body is on the right. Ask permission to park in their parking lot and walk through the
field on the right to get to the beach. There is a small stream you must cross. You can
jump across it in the summer. On the incoming tide if you are not careful you will have to
wade across to get back!!! Beware of the tide.
To get to Lewis Cove, from Loring Auto Body Shop go north about 1 1/2 miles and
before the road curves left to join US RT#1 there is a road on the right going down to
some houses. This is Horse Landing Road and you can park along side the main road
and walk down, keep going straight where you see the road turn into an overgrown
rutted path. This is public access to Lewis Cove. When you reach the cove you can
collect all the way to the mouth of the cove and around the point.
