America’s east coast is laced with lovely lighthouses and each has its own distinct charms. Portland Head Light, just outside the city in Cape Elizabeth, is a subtle beauty in white with a red-roofed keeper’s cottage. But it stands out mostly due to its location at the mouth of Portland Harbor in Fort Williams Park, where it has guided ships since 1791. Its rocky perch feels like the edge of the world and is especially lovely in the honeyed, pink-streaked light of sunrise.
Portland Head Light is a historic lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The light station sits on a head of land at the entrance of the primary shipping channel into Portland Harbor, which is within Casco Bay in the Gulf of Maine. Completed in 1791, it is the oldest lighthouse in Maine. The light station is automated, and the tower, beacon, and foghorn are maintained by the United States Coast Guard, while the former lighthouse keepers' house is a maritime museum within Fort Williams Park.
