Lighthouses of Our Travels

My husband and I have been fortunate to visit several lighthouses on our journeys. I would like to share with you our beautiful pictures.

Bug Island Lighthouse in Portland, Maine

Spring Point Ledge Light, South Portland, Maine

Ram Island Ledge Light located on the northern side of Portland Harbor in Portland, Maine. We saw this lighthouse in the distance when we visited the Portland Head Lighthouse.  I was disappointed that our guide did not mention this until asked.

Portland Head Lighthouse, Cape Elizabeth, Maine

Bear Island Lighthouse, Northeast Bar Harbor, Maine

Great Duck Island Lighthouse, Near Frenchboro, Maine

Baker's Island Lighthouse, Cranberry Island, Maine. By boat we could only see this light peaking from the tree-lined horizon.  In a couple of years I would imagine this light will not be able to be seen.

Winter Harbor Lighthouse, Winter Harbor, Maine

Egg Island Lighthouse, Bar Harbor, Maine

McNabs Island Lighthouse, Halifax Nova Scotia. Our ship passed this lighthouse as we were coming into the Halifax harbor.

George's Island Lighthouse, Halifax Nova Scotia

Devil's Island Lighthouse, Halifax, Nova Scotia.  We were disappointed that our boat excursion did not take us any closer.

California Lighthouse, Aruba. The lighthouse is named after a U.S. ship the California that sunk two years previous to the construction of the lighthouse in 1910.

Old Cape Henry Lighthouse, Virginia Beach, Virginia

Cape Henry Lighthouse, Virginia Beach, Virginia.   Both the Old Henry and Cape Henry lighthouses are located across from each other.  The public is only able to access the Old Cape Henry lighthouse.  These lights are located on the Fort Story military base and your car will be searched.

Los Angeles Harbor, (Angel's Gate), California

Bodie "Body" Island Lighthouse, North Carolina.  Popular folklore has it that this lighthouse got it's name from all of the bodies that washed ashore from all of the shipwrecks.

Key West Lighthouse, Key West, Florida

Hatteras Lighthouse, Hatteras Island, North Carolina.  Taken pre-move.

Negril Lighthouse, Negril, Jamaica.  This picture was taken through a weathered wood fence from Rick's Cafe.

Ocracoke Island Lighthouse, Ocracoke North Carolina

El Faro Lighthouse in Mazatlan, Mexico.  This lighthouse is the second highest in the world.  The view from the top requires a hike that transcends from a dirt and gravel path at the bottom to numerous concrete steps to the top.  The views are worth the hike.

Old Point Comfort Lighthouse in Hampton,Virginia. This picture was taken on board the Miss Hampton harbor cruise.
