Standing sentinel off the Maine coast since 1897, Two Bush Island Light guides mariners through the rocky waters near Spruce Head. This active lighthouse features a classic white square tower that has weathered over a century of Atlantic storms.

The light marks the treacherous passage between Two Bush Island and the mainland, earning its name from two prominent bushes that once distinguished the island. While the lighthouse remains closed to public access—the island is only reachable by private boat—photographers capture stunning images from Spruce Head or nearby Owls Head.

Best photography: Early morning or sunset during summer months offers dramatic lighting against the rugged coastline.

Nearby attractions: Owls Head Light, Rockland Harbor, and the Maine Lighthouse Museum.
