• Bug Light Park - Situated at the edge of Portland Harbor, Bug Light Park provides breathtaking views of Casco Bay, the Portland skyline, and the historic Portland Breakwater Lighthouse, affectionately called “Bug Light” due to its petite size. Constructed in 1875, this graceful lighthouse, adorned with Corinthian-style columns, symbolizes Portland’s maritime legacy. The park also features shipbuilding memorials that honor the Liberty Ships built here during World War II, making it a place rich in both beauty and history.
• Portland Head Light - Perched on the rocky cliffs of Fort Williams Park, Portland Head Light is Maine’s oldest lighthouse, commissioned by George Washington in 1791. This iconic beacon overlooks the stunning Atlantic coastline, where waves crash against rugged granite ledges. Visitors can wander the park grounds, explore historic military ruins, and capture postcard-perfect photos of one of the most photographed lighthouses in the United States.
• Eartha, the World’s Largest Revolving and Rotating Globe - Situated at the former DeLorme mapping headquarters in Yarmouth, Eartha is the world’s largest rotating and revolving globe. Towering over 40 feet tall, this enormous three-dimensional scale model of Earth slowly spins on its axis, mimicking the planet’s actual rotation. Guests can view it from a glass atrium or outdoor observation area, making it both an impressive engineering feat and a unique photo opportunity.
• L.L. Bean Factory Store - Open 24/7, 365 days a year, the L.L. Bean Flagship Store in Freeport is a true Maine landmark. Since 1917, it has welcomed visitors from around the globe to explore its extensive selection of outdoor gear, apparel, and home goods. The campus includes multiple specialty stores, seasonal events, and the iconic giant Bean Boot — a must-see photo spot. It’s more than just shopping; it’s a glimpse into New England culture and tradition.
• Androscoggin Swinging Bridge - Constructed in 1892 by the Roebling Company — the same engineers who designed the Brooklyn Bridge — the Androscoggin Swinging Bridge is a historic pedestrian suspension bridge that gently sways as you cross. Spanning the Androscoggin River, it offers delightful views of the water and surrounding forests. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it’s both a serene walk and a unique piece of Maine’s industrial history.
• Maine Maritime Museum - Located on the banks of the Kennebec River, the Maine Maritime Museum honors the state’s rich seafaring heritage. The museum features interactive exhibits, historic shipyard buildings, and a full-size sculpture of the schooner Wyoming — the largest wooden sailing vessel ever built.
