With views of the Schoodic Peninsula, Otter Cliffs, Sand Beach, and Great Head, Thunder Hole is a popular spot at any time. The nearby walkway offers stunning views with an ocean breeze, and a peculiar waft from the roses dotting the paths. The spot is for all the senses though, with the main one being the sound. Only a gentle whoosh during the calmer surfs, when one solid wave hits Thunder Hole just right, visitors turn to the horizon to search for oncoming storms. Instead of finding any though, they get rained on by an ocean spray that reaches up to 40 feet. Best experienced when the tide is rising mid-way between low and high tide.
