pemaquid point lighthouse印象

Pemaquid Point is the lighthouse on the Maine quarter, I presume because of its scenic beauty, quaintness and iconic lighthouse design. It is a very small lighthouse - easy to climb to the fourth level Fresnel. Volunteer staffers are very knowledgeable and obviously love what they do. The adjacent fishermen's museum is small but very interesting and packed with lobstering and fishing gear and information, and again, very well-versed and enthusiastic volunteer docents.The lighthouse itself doesn't take much time to see, and it is quite a haul out to the point, but it's worth it, as there are ledges to climb and clamber up and down, and, next door, a small restaurant-gift shop with Adirondack chairs, picnic tables and café tables set up around it. Get something to eat and you can sit out here enjoying it, and the view, and the peacefulness. You can also eat in the restaurant and face the ocean (though without a view of the lighthouse).Unlike other light stations nearer to cities (Portland Head, Nubble Light, etc.) Pemaquid was, while well-attended on the day we visited in early October, peaceful and relaxing, with none of the busloads and bustle at the more visited houses. Sitting in the Adirondack chairs, under a huge evergreen, with the Atlantic spread before you and Pemaquid Point Lighthouse on the right...an idyll.

A Very Pretty Lighthouse in Bristol, ME. We went to see. Maine has the prettiest lighthouses. We rode my husbands motorcycle all over to find lighthouses. This was a really nice one.

Take a drive out to Pemaquid Point lighthouse, you will not be disappointed. The scenery around this quaint little lighthouse is excellent, you can climb down to the ocean along the rocky ledges and take some great pictures. Very pretty. The lighthouse is easy to climb and the volunteer docents are friendly and interesting, they truly enjoy sharing their knowledge. The fishermen's museum was also interesting, a great collection of lobstering and fishing history.

We visited mid-morning. The weather was amazing and so were the views. Wear comfy shoes with good rubber soles if you plan to walk on the rocks (very steep and uneven). Spend some time sitting on the rocks watching and listening to the waves! The lighthouse is really neat…the museum had some great old pictures. If you can walk down the rocks, look for a little reflecting pool and you'll see the lighthouse reflected in the water…great photo op! You can also climb stairs to the top of the lighthouse.$2 per person in each vehicle to enter the lighthouse park.There is a great little souvenir shop with cafe next door (not within the park). We only had breakfast and coffee, but the coffee was great. Good prices on souvenirs.

beautiful views and plenty of open/ safe areas to climb or walk on/ through. we had a lot of fun and took a lot of pictures. free unless you want to go into the museum. there might have been a bathroom in the museum, however, I didn't see any.

This is the most photographed lighthouse in Maine and we know why! It was such a perfect day to visit. There was a light mist and it was windy. We got an idea of what life was like to work and live there. The rocky coast is so beautiful. Great picture taking opportunities. The museum is small but very interesting. We watched the video and enjoyed it as well.

a classic lighthouse, with a museum manned by excellent docents. loved climbing on the rocks & climbing to the top of the lighthouse. Gives you an appreciation of life in the early 1900's.

This was so pretty. It was open so we all got to climb it. It is the lighthouse featured on the state quarter. Enjoyable visit!

If this doesn't recharge your batteries, I don't know what will. We came back again this year and breathed in that beautiful ocean air. It is a fabulous spot to relax and enjoy... bring a picnic, bring your paintbrushes, bring your camera. Spectacular!
