Located on the South Portland campus of Southern Maine Community College, Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse is one of the lesser-known lighthouses in Maine. But, don’t let that fool you. It’s one of the most charming, not to mention easy to access given the limited crowds and available parking. On a bright sunny day plan a picnic, bring your family, and explore this splendid place right on our breathtaking coastline.
the Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse is simply a must-see in Maine. With a beautiful park, a beach, and a breakwater you can walk out, all make for a really fun family outing. It is easy to get to and we have never found it to be too busy while there. Whether you come to just sit and watch the boats pass by or walk out to the light you are sure to have a blast.
