Doubling Point Lighthouse, Arrowsic

I'm surprised that I am giving this four stars because it is far from a well known tourist spot that should attract a lot of attention. But in thinking our visit over I realized what a nice, relaxing place it was. No crowds, small area, off the beaten track, but with beautiful scenery. "Pleasant" is the word that comes to mind. Blue, sunny water, boats passing, an eagle flying over, and an unusual view of BIW upriver were topped only by the beautifully quaint lighthouse itself. It's probably not a place to spend hours but a picnic would be nice, or bring a book and lawn chair and read awhile. Just a nice place to visit.

This quaint lighthouse is worth the stop if you're in the Bath / southern midcoast area. The setting is beautiful and the bridge to the lighthouse is aesthetically pleasing. The entire structure is rustic and the views are stunning. Bath Iron Works can be seen in the distance and the river is idyllic.
