The allure of Maine lighthouses is as formidable as its seacoast,
attracting thousands of visitors and enthusiasts each year. From the
northernmost outpost of Whitlock Mills Light to Grindle Point Light on
Isleboro, to the southern beacon of Cape Neddick (Nubble) Light--one of
the most scenic and most photographed lighthouses in the world, boasting
over 250,000 visitors annually--a total of sixty-four existing
lighthouses dot the bold coast and rugged islands of Maine. The
Islandport Guide to Lighthouses in Maine celebrates the long-standing
history and importance of each lighthouse, as well as its modern-day use
and accessibility. A special section for mariners will detail the sea
approach to 22 of the lighthouses. Gorgeous four-color photography by
photographer, Courtney Thompson, combined with vintage postcard imagery
make this guidebook as handsome as it is useful, with updated
descriptions and directions to each destination, GPS coordinates, a
checklist, and relevant resource information on surrounding attractions
that will help make the most of your visit.
