This was an amazing experience and well worth the trip! We drove from Georgia to Maine. I've wanted to go since I was a child so my mom gave me the trip as a Christmas gift! 😊 This was one of the main highlights of the trip!
My great grandmother grew up in Portland. Shed travel here once a year until it became too difficult. Now I make the trek whenever I can in her honor. It's a nice park with beautiful scenery. But mostly it just holds a lot of sentimental value for me.
Stunning views and great place to relax. Parking is relatively cheap and easy to get in and out. Candy stall and security in place. Light house is closed due to covid but definitely worth every moment spend there.
Absolutely stunning. This is the best place in the Portland area for viewing the sunrises over the ocean. There is tons of parking, beautiful grassy areas, and wonderful rocks that you’re free to climb all around on. There’s usually a group of photographers and sometimes fishermen there for sunrise, but it’s not overwhelmed by them. I haven’t been there for when the lighthouse is open for tours, but it seems like a nicely run place.
A must visit place in Portland. Awesome place for photographers those who wants to capture Sunrise or Sunset, but check the weather first you need to have a sunny day to take great shots. Lighthouse also have a museum. It has big playground and plenty of car parking area. Parking fee is $2/hr but minimum 2 hrs means $4 you have to pay and maximum 10hrs. Great place for groups and family to spend some time with splendid ocean view. You can walk throught the Cliff walk trail, atrributes moderate. 👍
Beautiful retreat. The park that Portland Head Light is located in has enough to keep you busy outside for a few hours. With gorgeous scenery and historic info to learn about, this makes for a really nice exploring day in Maine. We were even able to buy a piece of local Maine art from an artist by the lighthouse. Amazing day! Definitely recommend a visit!
Portland Head is supposedly the most photographed lighthouse in the country (or world?). And it was a pretty sight to see. They have a coastal walking trail. However, you can only see the lighthouse from certain angles. Parking is $2 an hour but just make sure you check opening/closing times because I believe the lot does close. We came at around 1:30 on a Monday and while the lot was pretty full, we were still able to find a spot. But of course, as with any tourist attraction, the earlier you go the better.
The sight of the lighthouse is very picturesque. Everything that surrounds the lighthouse is scenes straight out of the movies. The park surrounding the lighthouse is quite big and very well maintained. There are also no homeless people like in Parks in Portland. There is a museum and a souvenir shop. The parking is paid and minimum for two hours. This destination is definitely worth a detour.
