Michelle's life is a colorful map of exploration and adventure. From the iconic streets of New York to the sunny shores of Florida, the jagged coast of Maine to the rugged terrain of Montana, she's been fortunate to call some of America's most beautiful states home. Beyond the U.S., Michelle's wanderlust has taken her on a motorcycle journey through India, led her to teach English in Hanoi, and saw her studying Spanish in Guatemala. Michelle graduated with a communications degree from the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University and in addition to a career in advertising has worked with OnlyInYourState since 2016, where her love for travel and storytelling converges. Alongside writing and exploring, Michelle finds joy in photography, staying active, and time with her family.

Some of the most recognizable features of Maine are the lighthouses that dot the coast. From the ones that sit out on cliffs to the ones found offshore on islands, there are so many to see and appreciate. There are 65 lighthouses in total, and each one offers a different history and reason for being. While the Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth might be known as the most photographed, we think the Rockland Breakwater in Maine is one of the most recognizable. To see it, we recommend this trail.
The Rockland Breakwater Trail is accessible year-round, though it’s best to check weather conditions before you head out. In the rain and snow, conditions can become slippery quickly. You can learn more about the trail, see more photos and check out a map by visiting this page on alltrails.com.
