Portland Head Light is a historic lighthouse located in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. Built in 1791, it is the oldest lighthouse in Maine and stands as a picturesque landmark at the entrance of Portland Harbor. The light station is automated, with the tower, beacon, and foghorn maintained by the United States Coast Guard. Visitors can explore the former lighthouse keeper's house, now a maritime museum within Fort Williams Park. With its rich history and stunning views, Portland Head Light is a must-see destination for lighthouse enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
