Review:
On the western edge of Islesboro Island, in Gilkey Harbor, travelers will find the understated, but beautiful, Grindle Point Lighthouse. Grindle Point Lighthouse remains an active light today and serves as an aid to the navigation of the U.S. Coast Guard with lights visible as far as four nautical miles. Erected in 1951, the lighthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and can be visited via a short ferry ride out of Lincolnville Beach. Visitors to the lighthouse can also enjoy the island’s public beach and open spaces for biking, hiking, and jogging. Who knows, you may even run into a celebrity or two on your visit as the lighthouse’s home island is known to host personalities like John Travolta and Kirstie Allen every so often.
