Myles Standish Monument State Reservation

Climb to the top of Captain's Hill for a panoramic view up and down the coast at the Myles Standish Monument State Reservation. Situated 200 feet above sea level, the monument itself is a 116-foot granite shaft topped with a 14-foot statue of Captain Myles Standish, the military leader of Plymouth Colony -- an unmissable landmark from much of the surrounding area, and worth the visit for the view alone.
