Maine has over 60 lighthouses.<\/p>\n

While some lighthouses on islands take preparation to access, many are easily accessible.<\/p>\n

Four of the most famous lighthouses are 15-45 minutes from Caponigro Arts, and they’re all quite different.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rockland<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Rockland Light is accessed by walking the massive one-mile-long stone breakwater. It’s magical at sunrise, sunset, and in thick fog.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Owlshead<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Owlshead Light is reached by a long wooden stair, just beyond the keeper’s house, because it’s perched high on a hill overlooking the Rockland harbor (including Rockland Light) and beyond to nearby islands.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Marshall Point<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Marshall Point’s light and the house are separated by a long elevated walkway over a rocky beach pointing to the surrounding islands. Made more famous by the movie Forrest Gump, it rests near Port Clyde (where you get the ferry to Monhegan Island).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pemaquid<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Pemaquid Light towers over the magnificent slabs of granite, which are constantly tossed in wild surf, but always accessible no matter what the tide. It offers 180-degree views of the open ocean, which are stunning at both sunrise and sunset.<\/p>\n
