Trip to Maine - Post #3: Portland Head Light

Portland, Maine is a wonderful area. There is so much to see and so much to do. We spent four nights in Portland and explored the city and surrounding area and still there was so much more we could have explored! One of the areas we explored was the Portland Head Light. If you take a boat ride of any kind in the bay adjacent to Portland you'll like be taken for a close up view of the Portland Head Light from the water. Although you will get a great view of the lighthouse, I highly recommend you take a drive and view from the land. It's part of a beautiful park!

Simply beautiful! There are walking paths all along the shoreline that take you along the rocks. Find a place to sit on the rocks and watch the waves crashing against the shore. We visited close to sunset and the views were amazing! One word of caution, and this is true all over Maine. Be very careful stepping on wet rocks near the shoreline. They are very, very, slippery. I guarantee that if you don't take care you will slip and fall on wet rocks!

So visit the Portland Head Light. Take a book and find a good rock. Or pack a picnic lunch and have a great view while you eat!
