Lighthouses

Ladies Delight

COPYRIGHT NICK AVERY

Since George Washington commissioned Portland Head (Cape Elizabeth, 1787), these
protective shoreline beacons have guided sailors to safety and served as beloved points
of interest for generations of visitors. From the Cape Neddick Nubble Light (York, 1879)
to West Quoddy (Lubec, 1808) at the easternmost point in the U.S., Maine is home to
65 historic lighthouses.

Pemaquid Lighthouse

It's no mystery that these colorfully named lighthouses like Burnt Island (Boothbay,
1821), Dice Head (Castine, 1829), Two Lights (Cape Elizabeth, 1828), and The Cuckholds
(Boothbay, 1907), continue to generate lasting interest. Breakwater strolls: A brisk walk
along a rocky breakwater is memorable and often breathtakingly beautiful. Spring Point
Ledge (South Portland, 1897), Rockland Harbor Light (Rockland, 1902) and the tiny Bug
Light (South Portland, 1875) are picturesque and iconic symbols of their place.
COASTAL BEAUTIES: Pemaquid Point (Bristol, 1835) graces the Maine state quarter,
presiding over a time-worn spit of granite tumbling towards the Atlantic; bring a picnic and visit the museum and art gallery. If you find yourself Down East, head to Bass
Harbor Head (Tremont on Mount Desert Island, 1858) and marvel at the ever-changing
sea, sky and land.
TWO IF BY SEA: Monhegan Island (Monhegan Island, 1824) offers more than its lighthouse. The renowned artists colony offers endless adventure - ferries depart from Port
Clyde, Boothbay or New Harbor. We also recommend the reservation-only tour of
Wood Island Light (Biddeford Pool, 1808).
