Lighthouses are some of the most iconic structures, towering in height and helping sailors navigate the waters in dark and dreary conditions. Today, the United States has over 400 lighthouses all the way from Maine to Hawaii. If you find yourself in Portland, Maine, be sure to take some time to visit and view these stunning structures, as it’s an activity that the entire family will enjoy. While all the lighthouses can be viewed from afar, some of them on our list offer an opportunity to get up close via the surrounding parks or to even take a tour inside. The Portland Head Light even has a museum filled with artifacts on the state’s maritime history for visitors to enjoy. CDC information for travelers. Hours/availability may have changed.
