Pemaquid Point Lighthouse

Standing at only 38 feet tall, Pemaquid Point Lighthouse is one of the shortest lights along the coast of Maine.  But however vertically challenged it may be,  it sits 79 feet above the ocean and claims some of the most dramatic views along the coast.  Ample parking, picnic tables and climbing on the rocks surrounding the lighthouse make this a popular spot for visitors.  Built in 1827 and rebuilt in 1857, the lighthouse provides an informative museum housing artifacts of Maine lighthouses and the fishing and lobster industries.
