Welcome to Maine Light Houses, a website
dedicated to sharing the beauty of the state of Maine,
especially Maine light houses, via a collection of
digital photos. The Maine light houses featured in
this collection were built in the most spectacular
settings imaginable, as offered only by the Northeast
Atlantic coast. These beautiful sentinels were built to
protect those who travel by sea along the state's
rocky coast. The rugged coast of this region is both
beautiful and dangerous, requiring many light
houses in order to protect those who travel by sea
from sailing into its long, jagged granite fingers.
From York to Lubec, each of the Maine light houses
is uniquely beautiful. There are Maine light houses
for every scenic preference. One of our favorite Maine
light houses is Bass Harbor Head, where the pastel
colors of the setting sun electrify the pink granite
ledges. If you prefer a bold, austere setting, we
recommend one of two Maine light houses; Portland
Head Light House or Lubec's West Quoddy Head
Light House. For a more serene setting, visit
Rockland's Breakwater Light House at sunset on a
calm, clear summer evening. A foggy day is ideal for
visiting northern Maine light houses in the Lubec
region, such as the Lubec Channel Light House,
Mulholland Light House, or East Quoddy Head Light
House. Each of the Maine Light houses featured on
this website offers its own breathtaking scenery and
captures the hearts of Maine light house enthusiasts
around the world.
