A cleft in the cliffs above Sachuest Bay, about fifty feet deep and ten feet wide, opened by the glaciers and still being cut by the sea surging in at its foot. Local stories call it Lover’s Leap, and the state tourism office allows that it may be haunted. Park in the small unmarked lot on Tuckerman Avenue and walk a hundred yards through the trees. The edges are sheer, so keep children close. PUBLIC, Middletown.
