Tips from the community
Perhaps the most famous lighthouse on the East Coast! Portland Head Light is the oldest lighthouse in Maine commissioned by George Washington himself. Explore Fort Williams park, walk the paths through the park, and climb the rocks for a unique view of the tower.

Located right in South Portland, this lighthouse is easy to get to from Fort Williams Park. You can explore the lighthouse and then go check out the old Battery that protected the shore.
