Review & FAQ:
Located at the southwestern entrance to Casco Bay, Cape Elizabeth Light is also fondly known as Two Lights. The tower was initially constructed in 1828 as two rubble stone towers, hence the name Two Lights, but these were replaced with cast-iron structures in 1874. The towers vary in height, one at 67 feet high and the other at 129 feet high. Visitors can get up close to the stunning lighthouses by visiting the adjacent Two Lights State Park. The 41-acre state facility provides panoramic views of the lighthouse and its surrounding grounds, though visitors are not allowed to access it.
