Brief summary:
This is an afternoon and evening excursion. A drive down a picturesque, coastal Maine peninsula brings you to the historic Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, which sits on the dramatic, rocky, wave worn ledges of Muscungus Bay. You will be stopping along the way at locations with beautiful Maine scenery, a small fishing village, and at spots known only to the locals.
You will have time before sunset to explore the grounds, the buildings, and the beautiful rock formations. The tower might be available to tour (operated independently by the American Lighthouse Foundation), as well as the Fishermen’s Museum next door. Here you’ll find displays and artifacts chronicling the area’s maritime heritage. We’ll set out to explore a nearby harbor and small fishing village as we make our way to a waterfront eatery for an early dinner. Then back to the lighthouse for the evening light.
