Never been there - but I just looked it up and love that it's the easternmost lighthouse despite the name. Cool!

Yup! The coast up there is just as spectacular as in Acadia.

That's what I was thinking, but since I haven't been to NE in years I didn't want to jump for that.

Both times I've been there I've seen a moose. You can barely make him out on the far side of the pond. it's official name is sandy stream pond...with katahdin in the back ground @kwc you're up!

Another east coast lighthouse

Wild guess... Ludington North Breakwater Light Michigan.

Nope. Much further east.

I don't know that one in particular, but based on the somewhat flat & not rocky dune structure, I'm pretty sure it's somewhere on the Atlantic south of Maine. I guess that doesn't narrow things down too much...

Is it cheating to search on Google? It's not this, but the architectural style is quite similar - Chatham Light.

I do that frequently... I don't consider it a cheat because I am learning where stuff is if ever I go back east again.... THANKS COVID!

 

[kwc]

Yes, this lighthouse is south of Maine. On the Atlantic Ocean. Near the tip of a peninsula.

Race Point Lighthouse

I guess it makes sense that the architectural style is similar to Chatham Light - I just looked them up and they're only 40 miles apart and were built in a similar era. I have fond memories of Cape Cod from years ago!

Race Point Lighthouse

Correct! You’re up @zionsky !

Let's stick with lighthouses
