Hiking
Located on Long Island, a Well-groomed 2.5-km trail and 235-step staircase lead to a platform with view of the Balancing Rock and St. Mary's Bay.

Hiking
A well-walkable and easy path leads to Balancing Rock. The more than 250 steps should not stop you from seeing this natural spectacle. There is a nice rest area with a bench right in front of the rock.
To get to Long Island, you have to take the ferry from East Ferry. This is free and takes about 5 minutes to cross. Depending on the time of year, however, it only runs every half hour or every hour.
