Absolutely stunning! A must see! Hard to describe in words. Definitely make this part of your trip while in the Portland area. You won’t be disappointed! Plenty to see and do even if the weather is subpar! Check it out!
This place is a gem! Awesome children's garden with fun things to explore (tunnels, climb trees & crazy slide). The playground was also a hit. The main attraction is the lighthouse. Great views. Plenty of picnic tables for lunch or you can find a place on the lawn. Free parking if you don't mind walking from overflow lot.
Such a beautiful place to spend time by the ocean. The forts are cool and fun to explore. Portland Head Light is one of the best lighthouses in the state and is a must see! Highly recommended stop if you are in Portland for the day
Very beautiful place. I was in awe for the first time having never been to Maine or New England in general. I came back three times before leaving the area. Make sure to check everything out the park has to offer, not just the light house. Definitely get some lobster rolls and look at the view!
Picturesque park situated on the rocky coastline of Maine with the ruins of an old fort scattered throughout, featuring one of the world’s most iconic lighthouses. While Portland Head Light is what brings in all the visitors, this park would honestly be pretty cool without it. Anywhere along the Maine coast is beautiful, but this stretch is particularly breathtaking. There are also a few open fields, some lightly wooded areas, a plethora of trails, a good selection of food trucks, and even a (somewhat) sandy beach. It’s not the biggest park, but it combines many of the coolest aspects of Maine: the rocky coast, beautiful views of the ocean, a bit of history, and (of course) a magnificent lighthouse.
Great spot to see the water as well as the lighthouse. Best part for us was being able to climb down on the rocks near the water to get very close to the water. Great pictures and really beautiful to look at.
We didn't go to any of the other lighthouse spots so can't compare them, but everything was great about this place.
Very beautiful grounds. The gardens are well kept and the abundance of wild flowers give it a great touch. We went on a day that was overcast and still we took plenty of beautiful pictures. The trails we're also very nice.
Lighthouse is part of the park system and surrounded by beautiful cultivated grounds and more wild , craggy surrounds. There is actually another view point at the lighthouse where you can see another lighthouse nearby .
The one thing I do not like is that there are no restrooms- just some rather horrifying portable restrooms. There is plenty of parking, however. If you have some mobility impaired family, it could be a challenge.
