11 Must-Visit Lighthouses in Maine
Up and down the coast, you’ll find lighthouses of all shapes and sizes. Maine lighthouses are an iconic part of the state. Visit for yourself and find out why.
See the historic breakwater that protects the coast from harsh storms and swells and the lighthouse that warns of the rocky outcropping.
This historic lighthouse is unique in that it has no sweeping light, but instead offers a spotlight to warn ships of a dangerous ledge lurking below the surface in the Fox Islands Thoroughfare.
Built in 1854, this lighthouse looks like it belongs on a glossy postcard. The complex includes a keeper’s house, a fog signal house, and an oil house.
The first lighthouse keeper at this 1828 structure was a romantic sea captain who wrote poems about his trade. Both the lighthouse and the keeper’s house have been restored.
