Settlers Rock — Attraction in New Shoreham

Settlers Rock is located right at the northernmost end of Corn Neck Road. It’s right next to the parking area where the start of the hike out to North Lighthouse. After you park your bike or car, you can spend a few minutes at Settlers Rock before starting on your hike. You probably won’t need more than a few minutes.

It’s definitely feasible to bike here...
