The Goat Island Lighthouse is a gorgeous place to visit in Kennebunkport, but for many mariners of the past, and even today, it was a sight for sore eyes. Erected in 1833, the Goat Island Light Station was made to help ships find their way into the shelter of Cape Porpoise Harbor. In 1859, the light station was upgraded to the brick tower that visitors see today and updated with a fifth-order Fresnel lens. Designated a National Historic Place in 1988, the Goat Island Lighthouse is a welcome stop along many tours in the area. Take a walking tour around the coast and past Walker’s Point, while admiring the beautiful design of the lighthouse and hearing amazing stories about the area’s maritime past.
