Portland Head Lighthouse by the Sea

Perched atop a rugged cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in Cape Elizabeth, Maine stands the historic Portland Head Lighthouse. This iconic structure is an emblem of maritime safety dating back to its construction during George Washington's presidency. Its white facade contrasts beautifully against the deep blue sky while red accents add warmth; visitors meander along the fenced pathway that leads down to the serene waters below. A keeper's house accompanies it, echoing the lighthouse’s architecture—a picturesque scene that captures both human ingenuity and natural beauty alike.
