Owls Head Lighthouse, Owls Head

It's a fairly short walk, .25 mi, from the parking lot to the lighthouse. But be warned, there are quite a few stairs to climb if you want to get up close to the lighthouse. You can view it without climbing the stairs though. There is a small museum and gift shop that was open when we visited on a Thursday afternoon. Expansive views of the bay await you from the grounds surrounding the lighthouse and from the small beach that can be reached by taking the left fork in the path.

Absolutely stunning. I was in shock at the beauty of this place and the views it offers. Be prepared to walk a little bit to get the lighthouse, but it is totally worth it. It's not far from where you park. There is so much to explore and many opportunities for really good photos. My husband and I found a little beach area and enjoyed the peace and beauty. There is a grassy area and a few benches to sit on as well. This is worth the time out of your day to visit.

Nice easy walk in and well maintained stairs. Easy climb to the light but about 4 steps of a metal ladder at the top so keep that in mind. This is manned by volunteers and donations are welcomed. The day we were there the weather and veiw were perfect.

It was storming so the light was on, which was a first for me. I grew up near no bodies of water, so lighthouses are a favorite of mine. The view from this lighthouse was absolutely stunning. The ramp up says wheelchair friendly but it is very steep so be careful.

It is a little bit of a walk to get to the lighthouse but the trail is easy and mostly flat. The lady running the gift shop is very friendly. Great views from the lighthouse into a bay where we saw a seal playing and a group of Common Eider ducks.
