Portland Head Light, Fort
Williams Park, Cape Elizabeth, Maine
Article and photo
by Eric H.
With salt air, rocky coast and
the clear blue Atlantic Ocean, it's hard to get any more "Maine"
than Portland Head Light. Located within the expansive and historic
Ft. Williams Park grounds in Cape Elizabeth, Portland Head Light
is a tourist's visual delight, a photographer's dream and a personal
pride and joy of Maine tourism. As the oldest lighthouse -- and
one of the most photographed in Maine -- this piece of archictecture
is a gem with the beacon proudly rising above a red roof, green
trim , perfetly maintained house. There's an interesting museum
inside the house tracing Fort William's military history, and
the park is a haven for kite flyers, walkers, picnicers and those
in love with the New England sea. Only 10 minutes from the charming
working port city of Portland, Maine, it is just one of the many
tourist attractions that makes this areas so special.
