Portland Head Light in Portland — view 2
Portland Head Light is a historic lighthouse located in Cape Elizabeth, just south of Portland, Maine. Commissioned by George Washington and completed in 1791, it is made of brick covered in white stucco and stands at a height of 30 metres. The picturesque grounds offer panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and rocky coastline. The park surrounding the lighthouse is ideal for a leisurely stroll or a picnic, especially in the warmer months when the gardens are in full bloom. Arrive early to catch the sunrise lighting up the cliffs, and keep an eye out for local artists capturing the scene on canvas.

    Two-hour private charter on a vintage lobster boat — sunset views, iconic lighthouses, and first round of drinks included.

    We had an incredible experience. My family and I spent our second leg of the Maine vacation near Portland and arranged a private sunset cruise with a chef as a surprise for our mom. It truly became a highlight of our trip. We were fortunate to enjoy excellent weather. The captain skillfully guided us through the bay without any sea sickness, while our hostess was fantastic at answering all our questions and sharing insights about this stunning area. However, the star of the show was our chef, who prepared the most delicious meals in a very small area. If you're on the fence about booking this cruise—or, I suspect, any of their offerings—don’t hesitate. Our family had a fantastic experience, and if we ever find ourselves in the region again, we would certainly book another cruise. It was the perfect way to conclude a memorable vacation on our second to last night.Christine23140 on the Private sunset charter on a vintage lobster boat in Casco Bay tour
