Ram Island Ledge Light, Casco Bay, Cape Elizabeth, Maine. Over the years, there have been countless shipwrecks on these ledges, just outside the entrance to Portland Harbor. In 1866 there were four wrecks in one day alone. The permanent lighthouse structure that stands today wasn't built until 1903. The base of the tower had to be constructed during low tides, as it became submerged twice a day. The walkway above the hightide mark was mostly destroyed in the January 2024 storms.

Portland Breakwater "Bug" Light, Casco Bay, South Portland, Maine. Though Bug Light may be the shortest lighthouse in Maine (26 ft tower, 39 ft above sea level), it may too be the most visible. Greeting nearly every vessel moving in and out of Portland Harbor. Also loved by locals, it watches over the regular picnickers and kite-fliers in adjacent Bug Light Park.
