Rocky Point Preserve
Plymouth's Rocky Point Preserve packs a lot into a short 0.4-mile trail, winding through forest and freshwater wetlands to a vista atop a high bluff overlooking the ocean. On a clear day you can see Saquish, Duxbury, and even the Outer Cape from the lookout. The town has installed a railing at the viewpoint, but the bluff drops off steeply, so keep dogs leashed and stay well back from the edge -- it is a genuinely dramatic spot, but not one to get too casual around.
