One of the biggest
land features of the northern coastline is Tow Hill. It is like a
mini-mountain(very mini) on the coastline edge of a swampy treed area.
Generally the entire area is a relatively flat or non hilly area, save
for this one big hill on the coast. It's not a very big hill as you
can see from the pictures (we are basically at the top in the pictures),
but compared to the surrounding area, it is the biggest hill for miles.
By climbing
to the top (more of an invigorating walk), you are rewarded by an amazing
view of the surrounding area and beaches, as well as an unobstructed view
of the ocean to the North. I guess, if you could see really far,
the next thing you would see to the north would be Alaska.

From the pictures,
you'd never know there's a blow hole there, but as the tide was out and
the sea was calm, it of course wasn't doing much. I have heard that
during incoming tide with fairly large waves, it can be quite amazing.
Nothing like
a nice relaxing lunch after a great day of exploring.
