Bumper Rock (Robinson’s Rock) and Totman Cove

If you live in Phippsburg, you have the right to park at Totman Cove, which includes a popular sandy beach. Non-residents can park on Sebasco Road and walk in from the trail system for Robinson’s Rock and Merritt Mountain, which is a really nice way to travel!

The walk up to Robinson’s Rock is short (~0.4 miles) and fairly easy. Once you get to the exposed rock, you’ll have views out to the ocean. The ~0.9-mile loop between Sebasco Road and the rock is easy to navigate. But the trail link between the loop and West Point Road can be hard to find and follow.

Once you have crossed West Point Road and walked down the Totman Cove access road, you’ll find a trailhead to the 1.5 mile-loop behind the picnic table on the bluff. The trails are marked with red blazes, and are easy to moderate. The section of trail along the creek is especially pretty.

Directions:From Route 209, take the Sebasco Road about ½ mile to West Point Road. On the West Point Road, about 0.25 mile on the right, is a small area to park at the trail head across the road from the Totman Preserve sign. The trail can also be accessed from the Sebasco Road. Parking is on the right side of the road. The trail is on the left, across the street.
