Fort Williams is probably one of the most known & photographed lighthouses in Maine. Built in 1787 and finished in 1791, it was used during both World Wars and is a hotspot for tourists in the summer. It's a great place to take a walk, catch a crisp breeze on a hot summer day or even play some soccer (the Cape Elizabeth travel soccer club has fields on location). For me - it was just a chance for a little more fresh air.

Gorgeous shots! I want to visit this one!
ReplyDeleteThis lighthouse is VERY easy to visit, just off Rt 77 in Cape Elizabeth and a 10 minute trip from downtown Portland. =) It can happen!
