Cousin's Maine Lobster - CAPE ELIZABETH

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.

This was an amazing experience and worth the trip! We drove from Georgia to Maine. I wanted to go since I was a kid, so my mother gave me the trip as a Christmas gift! This was one of the most important highlights of the trip!

My grandma grew up in Portland. Shed travels here once a year until it became too difficult. Now I'll make the trek whenever I can to her honor. It is a beautiful park with beautiful scenery. But above all, it only holds a lot of sentimental value for me.
