Just Off The Coast

These ar just some of the more convienient Lighthoueses in southern Maine:

-Biddeford Pool has the Wood Island lighthouse, which was established in 1808, and is still an active United States Coast Guard aid for navigation.

-Cape Elizabeth is home to one of the most famous lighthouses in Maine, The Portlan Head Light. Known for being the most photographed lighthouse in the country, The Portland Head Light was built in 1791 and is 80 feet tall.

-Kittery has two lighthouses, the Whaleback Light, and the Two Lights. The Whaleback Light is the southern most lighthouse that can be seen in Maine.

-Finally last but certainly not least, the closest lighthouse to the Lodge At Turbats Creek is Goat Island Light. It is in fact the only lighthouse in Kennebunk / Kennebunkport. Established in 1833, this 25 foot tower is still in use today, and is only accesible by boat.

These are just some sights and lights to see while visiting Southern Maine's coast !
