- trvldrms2New Jersey90 contributionsA Lighthouse Adventure!I would highly recommend a visit to this lighthouse for those that are sure-footed and wearing sensible shoes! Let me start by saying I am anything but sure-footed and was not wearing sensible shoes! The rest of my family (all adults) had no problem traversing the rocks and climbing the small ladder to visit the lighthouse. We were there on National Lighthouse Day and my family tells me they really enjoyed the informative tour of the lighthouse and all the history of the lightkeepers, etc. I can say I finally made it to the lighthouse but did not attempt the ladder. I do not want to scare you away but encourage you to give it a go as I saw many people of all ages and fitness levels enjoying it without hesitation. I understand that you can tour the lighthouse on certain days for $5. I regret not giving it a try because my husband and son enjoyed it so much and I would have love to see the lightkeepers sleeping quarters. The walk on the rocks is longer than it looks. Wear sneakers or sturdy shoes and go!Visited September 2023Traveled with familyWritten September 15, 2023
- Travelbugsforlife1,110 contributionsBeautiful and exciting walk to the light houseLoved our stop here. The parking lot is not large but we lucked out to get the last open spot. I would recommend going at low tide so you can walk out across the rocks, it was such fun. You would want to wear good footwear. Great views from here. Only thing that would have made this better is if we could have gone inside.Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 21, 2023
- maryK1Kingsland, Texas120 contributionsPerfectly locatedTo get to this lighthouse you pass through a community college with many historical buildings. It was lovely to see. The lighthouse was also part of a larger Fort built during the Civil War. The Fort continues to another island past the lighthouse. Although this Fort was never used in battle, It was built due to the fact that Portland burned 4 times during the Revolutionary War.Visited August 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten August 17, 2024
- Sean STonawanda, New York18 contributionsCool little lighthouseI ended my Maine tour here, walking on the rocks to get across the water to the lighthouse. The rocks are a little scary if you're going too fast and they might be slippery but if you're going slow enough and are cautious about where you're stepping, you should be fine. The top of the lighthouse still flashes and everything.Visited August 2024Traveled soloWritten August 23, 2024

Amazing long walk off a smooth jetty of large rocks on your way to the actual lighthouse. Whatever you do, stop by this area, and talk the adventurous walk to the lighthouse. There is a small fee to enter the lighthouse and it's well worth it.

A very pretty lighthouse on the campus of the Southern Maine Community College. You will need to park on the campus parking lot as there is no specific parking for visitors to the lighthouse. You can walk up to the lighthouse on an uneven rock jetty but cannot walk inside.

My husband and I originally were suppose to be on a bike tour, but because of the heat it was cancelled. So we followed a car tour we found on the internet and ended up seeing 6 lighthouses in 2 hours. This lighthouse we parked and walked out the rock pier to the lighthouse. That was super fun and the wind kept us cool on this 94 degree day.

We stopped by to see this lighthouse, which can be accessed by walking out on the levy. Little did we realize that we drove through a community college, which once housed a US Army post up through 1945. There were many old brick buildings which were headquarters, barracks, hospital, etc, which were now repurposed into the college buildings. You can walk the campus and see the buildings, as well as an original lighthouse tower and keepers quarters within the campus. A real treat to see some history as well as a nice lighthouse. An A grade trip!

We found this lighthouse in Portland at the end of a jetty. We walked the jetty hopping onto each rock on a windy day in June. We reached the lighthouse for a few quick pics before heading back. It was fun and we enjoyed the short walk on the jetties.

Worth seeing this great little lighthouse. The walk out to the lighthouse has rocks to navigate, so take care. We saw this lighthouse both by land and sea, not to mention you can walk around the area for great photo ops.

You have to drive through the community college campus, but this was easy for us on a Sunday morning in mid-September. There is free parking and a little beach before the pathway out to the light. You can walk all the way out to the light, but you cannot enter the light. The pathway consists of large stones that are not level and have large crevices between them, so going out the pathway may be a challenge for some with walking difficulties and may be stressful for parents of young kids (unless you carry them). But, this is such an unusual walkway that it really is worth seeing and walking out to the light if you can. There is also remains of a fort here and there are two beaches to explore – one by the parking lot and one on the other side of the fort. If you park here, it is also a safe and pleasant mile or so walk around a marina/shipyard and through the community college campus to also see the Bug Light Park (but, there is also free parking there, too, if you prefer to drive between the two lights).

It's the cutest little lighthouse, really. We saw some great views of it on the way to Peaks Island and back. I always go see the lighthouse after visiting a favorite south Portland bakery that's just a few streets away.

You can visit the lighthouse everyday of the year from Sunrise to Sunset , visitors can walk around the lighthouse grounds and walk to the lighthouse for photos and leisure. There are some days that volunteers allow visitors to pay a fee of $5 to enter the very small lighthouse (to look around and take pictures) . The lighthouse doesn’t seem to have a schedule for tours online or on their social media. When I visited the lighthouse, there was no volunteers around and the lighthouse was locked. I was still able to visit the lighthouse and take great pictures. It was a great trip and beautiful experience. There are no restrooms available for visitors and there is no water fountain
