🌊 Portland’s Lighthouses & Lobster Dreams 🦞

📍 Portland Head Light & Fort Williams Park Cape Elizabeth, ME 04107 Maine’s oldest lighthouse (since 1791)! The classic white tower + red-roofed keeper’s house now holds a tiny museum. Pro tip: Grab quirky fridge magnets at the gift shop (run by sweet retired volunteers—patience is key!). 🗼❤️ 📍 Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse *2 Fort Rd, South Portland, ME 04106* One of Portland’s "Big Three" lighthouses—just 10 mins from Head Light. Walk the rocky causeway (watch your step!), snap pics, and park easily (thanks to the nearby community college). 📍 Old Port Downtown’s charming red-brick district, buzzing with tourists and salty sea vibes. Parking’s a headache—better to park a bit farther (and cheaper!). 🚗💨 📍 Kettle Cove State Park 20 mins from downtown—a hidden sunset gem with rugged coastal views. Worth the detour! 🌅 Funny story: I planned to visit Portland, Oregon this summer… but fate sent me to Portland, Maine instead! No regrets—this lobster-packed, lighthouse-dotted coastal gem was the perfect summer escape. 🦞✨ Grateful for family, friends, and this chance to share my travels with you all. Until next adventure! 🙏 #PortlandMaine #LighthouseChasing #LobsterLover #EastCoastVibes #TravelDiaries 🌊
