About

Travelers who keep their eyes trained on the lefthand side of the road en route Shirley Heights Lookout restaurant will notice a small cemetery with an amazing view.

If you have a chance to retrace your steps just before the turn, you will be met with about a dozen graves and a white obelisk forever looking over the ocean; this area is for the deceased soldiers and officers of the 54th Regiment, Second Battalion Dorsets.

Know Before You Go

Even when the viewpoint is crowded with tourists, the cemetery tends to remain peaceful.
