Little River Light

Little River Light

Maine

Perched on Little River Island in Cutler, Maine, this historic lighthouse was built in 1846 to guide vessels through the treacherous waters of the Bold Coast. The modest wooden tower served mariners for over a century before being decommissioned. Though no longer active and closed to public access, the lighthouse remains a beloved landmark visible from the mainland.

Photography enthusiasts find the best conditions during golden hour, when warm light illuminates the weathered structure against dramatic coastal backdrops. Fall foliage season offers exceptional opportunities.

Nearby attractions include the spectacular Bold Coast Trail, offering rugged clifftop hiking with views stretching to Grand Manan Island. The charming fishing village of Cutler provides authentic Down East character just minutes away.
