Standing sentinel on Maine’s rugged Downeast coast since 1850, Prospect Harbor Point Light marks the entrance to Prospect Harbor in Gouldsboro. This active lighthouse features a white granite tower that continues guiding mariners today. While the grounds are not open to the public—the station serves as a Navy recreation facility—visitors can photograph the picturesque tower from nearby vantage points along the shore.

The golden hours of sunrise offer exceptional photography opportunities, with the light bathing the granite tower in warm hues against the Atlantic backdrop. Nearby attractions include Schoodic Point in Acadia National Park, just minutes away, offering dramatic ocean views and hiking trails. The charming fishing village of Corea provides authentic Maine coastal atmosphere.
