Wow the views here are insane! The lighthouse was a one of a kind experience, and a great place to take pictures. Up inside the lighthouse, you can see the view of the water from above and everything around it. I highly recommend!

My most favorite lighthouse to date. Beautiful scenery. Able to walk the rocks, sit in shaded areas and enjoy the views. But the best part is you can actually go up to the top of the lighthouse. Great museum, super friendly staff. Definitely a must see!

Our first lighthouse of the trip and it didn’t disappoint. It is the lighthouse on the Maine quarter coin. Very beautiful! There is a little museum connected to it. The volunteer is very helpful and eager to educate about the fishing history in the area. Worth the trip!

This is simply a place to visit if you love scenery and lighthouses like I do. It is quite a drive from the inland but if you have some time go and visit it and take many pictures of this beautiful scenic view.

Can you go inside the lighthouse?

Yes you can enter both the light house tower (run by a volunteer group) and the muesem at the old light house keepers residence as well as the old fog bell building. We loved the view from the tower. As a bonus you can even rent the apartment in the upper floor of the keepers house from the town for short overnight stays

If you want to see a beautiful lighthouse and Christmas lights visit Nubble Head Lighthouse at Cape Neddick. Start at York and drive along the beach. It's a beautiful drive.

What type of rock is it that goes down to the water? It looks like granite that acts like shale, made up of layers of sheets. Kind of looks like it all slid down into the ocean over a long period of time.

Karen Dvornek | May 5, 2021
Stephen Arlaud | May 6, 2021

I don't know the name of it right off hand but it's not granite. This is a typical rock on the Maine coast. It may be a type of shale.

Is there a gift shop or a museum? What is the entry fee for the lighthouse?

Darcy Marlatt | May 5, 2020
Karen Adams | May 6, 2020

There is a gift shop and restaurant and it's 3 dollars to get to the lighthouse. 3 dollars per person. It's the most beautiful place on Earth. I go every year.
