Boston-Freeport - Lighthouses - Next Week

Hello,

We will be taking a day of our trip to drive up to the Freeport area. Was wondering if you could recommend a couple of stops along the way that would offer some great pictures of Lighthouses? Weather permitting of course!

Thanks so much!

Two opportunities come immediately to mind....

1. The Nubble lighthouse in York -- easily accessible for photos (but not to walk around) off US Route 1 in York. Google ';The Nubble Lighthouse'; for details and more accurate driving directions.

2. Portland Head Lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, a Portland suburb. Great photo and walking access. The oldest, continuously operating lighthouse in the United States. Google ';Portland Head Lighthouse'; for exact driving directions.

And remember, sometimes less than ideal weather still yields great photos!

Enjoy your visit.

Thanks so much for this suggestion...it looks like a really nice lighthouse too! Was wondering..once we get to Cape Elizabeth...are there road signs to help us locate the light house?

Don%26#39;t remember for sure if there are signs specifically to Portland Head Light Lighthouse along Rt 77. But as you follow Rt 77 south, you definitely will see a large entrance sign on your left for Fort Williams Park. Turn left into that entrance, go a quarter mile or so, and the road to the lighthouse will be to your right....think there%26#39;s a sign at that intersection. If not, it%26#39;s not that large a park, so five minutes or less of looking around should get you to the right place...
