Activity Map

A Maine lighthouse first established in 1808 after repeated shipwrecks near Biddeford Pool, with the current 47-foot granite tower completed in 1858. It remains an active aid to navigation and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

A three-mile beach in Kennebunkport, Maine, named for two rock clusters once home to large flocks of wild geese before summer crowds drove them off. The beach went through several rebranding attempts in the 1890s, including "Forest Beach" and "Beachwood," before the original Goose Rocks name stuck for good.

The largest stretch of Kennebunk Beach in Kennebunk, Maine, running from the mouth of the Kennebunk River west to Lord's Point. A longtime local favorite for swimming and surfing, it draws crowds each summer along Beach Avenue's fine, talcum-soft sand.

Also known as Two Lights, this Maine station originally consisted of twin towers built in 1828, the first paired lighthouses on the Maine coast, replaced by taller 67-foot cast-iron towers in 1874. Only the eastern tower remains lit today; the western tower was retired in 1924, and the site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

A secluded half-mile beach in Kennebunk, Maine, where the Mousam River meets the Gulf of Maine, still owned by descendants of the Parsons family for whom it's named. Limited parking and no lifeguards keep it quieter than nearby Kennebunkport beaches, making it a favorite for birdwatching and solitude.

The oldest lighthouse in Maine, completed in 1791 by order of President George Washington after Portland-area merchants petitioned for a light to mark the harbor entrance. The keeper's house is now a maritime museum within Fort Williams Park in Cape Elizabeth.
