This place is nice to visit even in February. The water is a teal blue, and the sky is a brilliant blue (due to the cold -- no haze). The lighthouse was still standing, even after the nor'easter we had a few months ago.

On our 48 State trip we only have about 1-2 days per State. The Portland Head Light is a great Historical stop. Portland Head Light was built in 1791. Commissioned by George Washington and dedicated by the Marquis de Lafayette, it is the state's oldest lighthouse.

You can’t go in the lighthouse but there is still lots to do! We walked all around - great views! We walked on the rocks and collected some. It was a rainy day when we went, otherwise, would be a nice place to have a picnic! Besides, this is the oldest lighthouse in Maine!

A visit to Portland Head Light is a must when visiting Portland. The location is stunning and you can spend several hours exploring the lighthouse and surrounding green spaces. Truly one of the prettiest places around.

Vast park with beautiful, scenic views and plenty of room for families and visitors to spread out. Very clean, and parking was decent (we went on a Friday morning before a holiday weekend, so I don't know how it is at other times). Port-a-potties on site that seemed maintained. There were various food trucks there and a few artisans selling their crafts. Picnic table spread about and even a few grills on premises. I highly recommend visiting and would definitely go again.

A Light House built in 1791 with a very rich and fascinating history. Still maintained in immaculate condition with a small museum house in the building next to it. The first lens that was used is over 7 feet tall and is on display along with the later, more advance ones that would enhance the illumination from the light source multiple times. Fascinating is the word that comes to mind. A must see on a visit to Maine.

There have been thousands of photos taken of iconic Portland Head Light because it's the oldest lighthouse in Maine and a magnificent one. It was built in 1791, around the time when Fletcher Christian was on Pitcairn Island with the other Bounty mutineers and a few Tahitians. On the beautiful mid-June day that we went, there were lots of tourists taking advantage of the views, food trucks, trails, and park.

We drove here to have a walk around the coastal paths and visit this lighthouse. Great place for families to beach comb and lots of grassy areas to play ball games. Lots of car parks .

A beautiful sunset stop! Perfect for a picnic, taking pictures, and watching the water up on the cliffs or from the beach below. The park property caters to all types of travelers by offering a close-up view of the house, open fields, cliffs with trails down to the water, sport courts, food trucks and more. It’s dog friendly too! The lighthouse encapsulates east coast culture and is a must see!

Beautiful lighthouse. Amazing views. Can see other lighthouses. Very picturesque. It was closed, so we couldn’t go inside. It was situated at Fort Williams Park. The park has a huge green space which is perfect for picnicking, games, etc. Lots to explore. The only cost, which was minimal, was for parking. However, there is plenty of parking. Definitely worth the stop.
