Ellisville Harbor State Park
A quiet coastal preserve with a short walk down to the shore — the best sunset in Plymouth, and seals from October to May.
Ellisville is our standing sunset recommendation: park, walk the gentle path past the old farm fields, and come out onto a wide barrier beach and salt marsh with an uninterrupted view west over the water.
In the cold months harbor seals haul out on the bar offshore. Bring binoculars, and give yourself forty minutes before sunset.
Hours change seasonally in Plymouth — call ahead or check the website before you drive over.
