When in the area, make sure to stop by the Portland Head Light. You’ll be sure to get some of the best views in the area. There’s even a few small trails you can take for a change in scenery. We only spent about an hour hear but could have made a day out of it picnicking and people watching.

Lovely site! I have always loved lighthouses and this one is spectacular. Easy access and lots of area to take photos. Scenery is so beautiful- crowds were light and many folks were very interested to meet our dog who was traveling with us!

We loved our experience here! Parking was cheap, we walked around right up to the lighthouse and the other views and spots were so pretty and perfect. History and plaques were interesting, and we got dinner at Bite into Maine food truck right across the street. Beautiful place and could have stayed longer just sitting and listening to the ocean, enjoying the view.

Gorgeous views. There are a lot of parking areas (pay parking) so that was nice we found a spot pretty easily. The whole coast area is beautiful and you can explore a decent stretch. The lighthouse itself is stunning and a beautiful piece of history.

Beautiful grounds with great views of the head light against the ocean. The property includes trails for walking, picnic areas with BBQ pits and plenty of grounds to relax and enjoy the view. Food and drink options available also.

Really spectacular. Amazing lighthouse and breath-taking ocean views. Portland Head Light at a Cape Elizabeth was built in 1791 and it was commissioned by George Washington. It is the oldest lighthouse in Maine.

This is the most photographed lighthouse in America for a reason. It sits on o rocky outcropping and can be viewed from land on three sides. There is ample (paid but reasonable) parking. The are easy trails to follow along the shore and you can climb out onto the rocks for a better view if you are feeling adventurous. Overall just a beautiful peaceful place!

We wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and liberate ourselves in the refreshing breeze and serene blue sea, so we headed to Maine for our holiday. There's always something special about visiting beautiful states like Maine, and our destination was Portland. It was truly charming and picturesque. We allowed ourselves to break free from the demands of daily life and let the soothing sea calm our minds. It was incredibly peaceful. One highlight we highly recommend is Portland Head Light. As the oldest lighthouse in Maine, it offers breathtaking views from every angle. Picture a pristine white lighthouse standing tall against the backdrop of the blue sky and sea – it's an unforgettable sight. Nearby, you'll find food trucks where you can grab delicious food, drinks, and ice cream to make your day here in Portland even better.

I took a few shots of Portland Head Light from different angles than I have in the past, which included a shot from the Bite Into Maine food truck. It was a perfect day -- warm but not humid, with a nice breeze. The lighthouse survived the terrible winter storms we had, although some of the other buildings and embankment didn't do as well.

The rain did not deter us from visiting two days in a row. We would’ve loved to see the Head Light in sunny weather but it held its appeal even with the overcast skies. There are a couple of food trucks for those who have walked up an appetite. The lobster rolls were really good but we didn’t manage to sample the gelato.
