2024 Official Maine Camping Guide - 30
LIGHTHOUSES
Portland Head Light
Squirrel Point Light, Arrowsic
Since George Washington
commissioned Portland Head
Light (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.
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 light-house. 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).
HONORABLE MENTION:
Spot the kindly, but gruff sea
West Quoddy
captain's ghost at Owl's Head (Owl's
Head, 1826)
Visit Inland lighthouse Ladies Delight
on Lake Cobbosseecontee (Winthrop,
1908) Enjoy sleeping over at Goose
Rocks (Biddeford, 1890) " Sparkplug
Light "
Listen for the haunting player piano
at Seguin Island Light (Georgetown,
1795)
Walk the rustic wooden gangplank
leading to Marshall Point (Port Clyde,
1832)
OPEN LIGHTHOUSE DAY:
On September's Second Saturday,
dozens of our beautifully maintained
historic light-houses are open to the
public in celebration of the legacy
of these coastal sentries. For more
