They co-op L/H Cruises each Weekend that see most of the area Lights (Many of which could not be seen from land). check out their website for this next Falls schedule. I would highly recommend these cruises and their B & B.

They have several different cruises to view different lights. You will see about seven lights. They go in real close so you can get some really good pictures. The cruise that we went on was all day and included a picnic lunch. Portland and some of the coastal towns south of Portland are delightful places to stay. There are lighthouses that can be viewed from land. These include Portland Headlight, Two Lights, Cape Elizabeth, Goat Island, Spring Point, Portland Breakwater, and Cape Neddick. Lighthouse Depot is also located in Wells Beach and is well worth a visit. I have a book, Maine Lighthouses by Courtney Thompson that show all the Maine Lighthouses and also has directions, which really helps in locating them. I am from Maine originally and whenever I go back I plan my trips around "chasing lighthouses".
