The Journey
Portland Breakwater Light (Bug Light)
Affectionately nicknamed 'Bug Light' for its diminutive size and charming appearance, the Portland Breakwater Light stands as a picturesque sentinel at the entrance to Portland Harbor. Modeled after the ancient Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens, this small lighthouse offers stunning views of the Portland skyline and the bustling harbor. Stroll along the breakwater, breathe in the salty air, and capture postcard-perfect photos of this beloved local landmark.
Portland Head Light
Perched dramatically on the cliffs of Cape Elizabeth, Portland Head Light is Maine's oldest lighthouse, commissioned by George Washington and first lit in 1791. This iconic beacon has guided ships into Portland Harbor for over two centuries. Explore the adjacent Fort Williams Park, wander along the rocky coastline, and immerse yourself in the history and natural beauty of this unforgettable landmark. Don't miss the museum showcasing the lighthouse's rich past and the breathtaking panoramic views of Casco Bay.
Spring Point Ledge Light
Standing proudly in the waters off South Portland, Spring Point Ledge Light is a 'sparkplug' lighthouse marking a treacherous underwater ledge. Walk the unique breakwater constructed of massive granite blocks to reach the lighthouse, offering a thrilling experience and stunning views of the harbor. Observe the maritime activity of Portland, watch ships entering and leaving, and appreciate the vital role this lighthouse plays in ensuring safe navigation. This is a perfect spot for photographers and those seeking a unique perspective on the Portland waterfront.
Ram Island Ledge Light
Standing offshore in Casco Bay, Ram Island Ledge Light is a stoic granite tower marking the northern entrance to Portland Harbor. While typically viewed from afar, its imposing presence serves as a constant reminder of the region's maritime heritage. Admire its rugged beauty from the shores of Portland or from a boat tour of Casco Bay. Appreciate the vital role this lighthouse has played in guiding ships safely through the often-challenging waters of the Gulf of Maine.
