Thankfully though, I’m here to give you the inside scoop on not just Portland Head Light but on a ton of other super cool Maine lighthouses that you can quickly and easily visit while livin’ la vida loca in Portland, Maine.
Therefore, even though there are no lighthouses in Portland, Maine proper, you can still do a quick little road trip to some of the best lighthouses in Maine while staying in this amazing city.
Pro Tip: During your visit, if you look out at Portland Harbor and Casco Bay, you’ll be able to see Spring Point Ledge Light (1897) on your left, Ram Island Ledge Light (1905) right in front of you, Halfway Rock Light (1871) off in the distance on a clear day, and Cape Elizabeth Light (1874) on your right.
So, if you want to see this cute little lighthouse for yourself, just mosey on over to the appropriately named, Bug Light Park – preferably on Maine Open Lighthouse Day (in September) when it’s actually open to the public.
