52 feet; light is 261 feet above water.

SCENIC SEACOAST WALKS
Portland, ME
The island is a walker’s paradise. The ferry runs regularly and cheaply. You
can park in Portland and be on the island quickly where time slows down and you
can wander around the 720 acre island to your heart’s content. Because there are
year-round residents, you’ll find a store, bike rental, everything you need.

SCENIC SEACOAST SITES
Kittery Point, Maine
There are not many places to swim between York and Rye. Seapoint is "swimmable"
in season, but "walkable" year round. It’s rugged, primitive and that makes it
just right for that off season or off-hour summer stroll with your four-legged
friends.

SCENIC SEACOAST WALKS
Kennebunk, ME
Out of the way, privately owned and limited in access, Parson’s is a special
spot for people who appreciate and respect nature. Off-season it remains a lovely
walk on a brisk day on the Maine coast.

Mouth of the Connecticut River, CT
Est 1886, 49 feet, light 58 feet abovewater.
Saybrook Breakwater Lighthouse has an honored place on a special Connecticut
license plate as a symbol of the effort to preserve Long Island Sound. It’s a
picturesque structure that’s unfortunately difficult for the general public to
view from land.

SCENIC SEACOAST WALKS
Ogunquit, Maine
You won’t find a prettier stretch of Maine coastline with an easier walking trail.
Sure it gets crowded sometimes, but not in the fall, winter and spring. Great
views of the white Ogunquit beach, and for tourists, shopping on both ends.

25 feet tall; light is 28 feet above water
Prudence Island can be visited by taking a ferry from Bristol, but the island
is hardly a tourist destination; there are no hotels or restaurants. The lighthouse
is a pleasant walk of a bit over a mile from the ferry.
