Two Lights State Park
A rocky coastal park at Cape Elizabeth, next to the twin lighthouses and the famous Lobster Shack.
Two Lights State Park takes its name from the Cape Elizabeth Twin Lights, built nearby in 1828. The park has rocky shoreline trails, World War II-era gun emplacements, and picnic areas where you can watch waves crash against the rocks. On the ledges outside the park stands The Lobster Shack at Two Lights, one of Maine's most famous seaside lobster roll restaurants. It operates seasonally, roughly from March through October. Park entry costs a few US dollars per person. One of the twin lights is still in operation and privately owned, so it is not open to visitors, but you can photograph it from the roadside. The park is about 15 kilometers from downtown.
