  Cutest lighthouse. It's on the state quarter. Nice little museum with a gift shop next door. Gorgeous views and photo opportunities in a wonderful area

  This is a lovely park at the edge (duh) of the ocean. You get incredible views of the ocean and the shelf -- that famous "rocky Maine coast." There are a couple of picnic benches, and art gallery inside the park. There's a museum in what used to be the light-keeper's house. Wonderful day trip for those of us who live here, and absolutely worth a visit from all lighthouse fans. I got my first stamp in my Lighthouse Passport at Pemaquid Light.
