Boot Cove Beach derives its name from Boot Cove and nearby Boot Head Preserve in Lubec, the easternmost municipality in the contiguous United States where West Quoddy Head marks the nation's easternmost point. This secluded cobble beach within one of Lubec's most beautiful pristine sites features coastal bogs creating unique ecosystems along the stunning Maine Coast Heritage Trust-protected shoreline.
The beach offers access via Boot Head Preserve spur trails descending through hundreds of acres of spruce forests to the secluded cobblestone shore, where visitors can observe the dramatic coastline and pristine natural habitat. The remote location attracts those seeking solitude at the edge of the continent, with opportunities to explore tide pools, observe seabirds, and experience the rugged beauty characteristic of Downeast Maine's Bold Coast.
Lubec's small year-round population supports limited dining including Uncle Kippy's for fresh seafood and harbor views, Water Street Tavern & Inn for casual dining and local catches, and The Landmark Restaurant for traditional New England fare, serving visitors exploring this remote easternmost community near Campobello Island and the Canadian border.
