1 Best Sight in Way Down East, Maine

Little River Lighthouse

Hike in the state preserve in Cutler (Cutler Coast Public Land) for views of this lighthouse facing the ocean on a tiny, wooded island at the harbor’s mouth. You can also kayak to its rocky, cliff-clad shores. Friends of Little River Lighthouse hosts open houses each summer, ferrying visitors over from the boat ramp in town, and offers overnight stays in the charming keeper’s house. Check the website for details about overnight stays and the open houses.
