Attractions
Pemaquid Lighthouse Park
| Rising above crashing surf and spectacular rock formations, the Pemaquid Lighthouse is a cultural and historical treasure. Each year, about 100,000 visitors come to explore the park grounds, take in the panoramic view of the Atlantic and marvel at one of the state`s best known icons. It is so honored that, in 2003, Maine citizens voted to use its likeness to represent them on the state quarter. The Fisherman`s Museum is also located next the lighthouse, this is a wonderful museum that offers a look back at our fishing and maritime history. |
