There's some parts that have gaps, so you have to pay attention. But over all it was an easy walk to the light house. The walk itself was quite relaxing and beautiful. On each side of the pathway, the water on each side are quite different, which makes it beautiful. Once you reach the end, you'll find a lighthouse at the end. You can walk up the stairs of the lighthouse to get a better view. Overall, I really enjoyed this lighthouse and would come back.

This is definitely worth the full price value and we plan on returning to do another cruise next summer!

Shedding Light on the Subject…read more The nation's largest lighthouse museum located in touristy Rockland, Maine. The Good: *Tours available *Huge collection of artifacts and Fresnel lenses *Nice gift shop *Park Street Grille located in same building The Meh: *Admission $12/adults; $8/seniors; $6/military; & kids 12 and under free. *Seasonal March - December (check their FB page before visiting or call) *Not the biggest museum we've ever been to as you can probably be in and out in around an hour. The Ugly: *Parking can be difficult during busy times of year (i.e., summer) Conclusion: Nice museum for lighthouse lovers like ourselves. If you happen to be in town then it's worth a visit, but not necessarily go out of your way for.

The Heritage, being designed from the keel on up by the Lees for the more contemporary application of transporting people around Penobscot Bay for pleasure instead of transporting things like pig iron and coal from Maine to New York, Is therefore far more comfortable than the older restored/rehabbed neighboring boats, with a spacious common area for eating and reading and broader decks for sitting and taking in the scenery. Yet its historically accurate design and on-board equipment, such as a wood-burning stove and an old gas-powered one-cylinder "donkey" engine from the 1920's, harkens to the seafaring tradition of the old commercial off-shore coastal schooner. To quote JFK, "The torch has now been passed to a new generation," and Ben and Sean are now the proud Co-captains of this marvelous ship. In addition to touring the magnificent coastal scenery of the state of Maine, they bring on-board their own unique talents. Ben is notable for his precision when commanding the vessel and Sean, as executive chef, brings out wonderfully savory meals. Fear not, there is no wanting for food on this vessel - if you are a Hobbit used to 8 meals a day, this boat is for you. Both Sean and Ben are accomplished guitarists and they will entertain you onboard in the evening with an absolutely professional level of vocal and instrument harmony. I have a high bar for musical entertainment, and will walk away (or swim away, in this case) from second rate performances, but these two will sweep you away with their talent. Finally, the famous Wednesday "Lobster Island" lobster boils are not to be missed. The mixture of live lobster freshly boiled with Maine seaweed gives the lobster a sweetness that just cannot be replicated in any restaurant (or home, for that matter). There's more I could say but why drone on? Take a look at the photos that decorate their web site and imagine you are there. Time to book another rez for next year.
