  A doable but fairly steep climb up the hill and you will find yourself with an unbelievably beautiful view. Have a seat on the bench, take a few pics and then head into the museum which houses some interesting and sometimes quirky history about the island. Find the news story about the hermit of Manana Island which sits just a short ride away from Monhegan. Worth the time to read it. The museum also holds many mundane period household items and furnishings, similar to those you've likely seen many times before. The whole experience - climb, appreciation of the view and the museum won't take you much more than an hour depending on how quickly you move through.

  well worth the walk up for the view of Monhegan, the bay, and other islands. Like other ME lighthouses, it is pretty functional but not attractive. Museum was closed when we went.

  This has one of the best vistas on the island. A great place for photography. The lighthouse is a short but steep walk up from the main road. Allow some time for the museum.

  It was great to go through the buildings and collections after many, many years and there is new stuff already added for the Quadricentennial celebration of 2014.

  The Monhegan Lighthouse may not offer the beauty and majestic feeling that Portland, Bass Harbor and the Cape Neddick Hubble, but its rustic place on the island makes it worth the trip.

  This is not one of the prettiest Maine lighthouses, but it is a glorious setting for watching the sunset- amazing!!

  had been told that this would be one of the best sunsets on the island so that was where we started. The lighthouse always looks lovely but even better in the soft light of evening.

  Great little lighthouse on the highest point of Monhegan Island where you can tour the living quarters as it may have been when a family was tending the lighthouse. Lots of interesting old photographs of the lighthouse over the years as well.

  A working lighthouse at the top of a hill on the island of Monhegan.Monhegan is a fishing village of about 60 year round residents. The Lighthouse is 10 miles out in the Atlantic from the mainland.The tower is open for tours once a week during the summer.

  Looks over the harbor, the village, neighboring islands, the ocean and an old cemetery. Best overview of Monhegan Island.
