Parsons Way is a beautiful walk along a road next to the ocean in Kennebunkport. There are many benches on the top of rocky outcroppings where you can stop and enjoy the stunning views.

Google Maps can have a hard time locating the beginning, you can use Colony Beach in Kennebunkport as the start point.
