Banks Point is a prominent coastal feature located in Cumberland, a county in the state of Maine, United States. Situated along the rugged coastline of the Atlantic Ocean, Banks Point is a headland that extends out into the water, forming a distinct point.
The point itself is characterized by its rocky terrain, with large boulders and cliffs jutting out towards the ocean.

From the point, visitors can admire the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, with its deep blue waters stretching out as far as the eye can see. The rugged coastline, dotted with small islands and rocky outcrops, adds to the picturesque scenery.
The area surrounding Banks Point is also home to a diverse range of marine life, including various species of fish, seabirds, and even the occasional seal or dolphin. This makes it an ideal spot for fishing, birdwatching, or simply enjoying the tranquility of nature.
