Portland Headlight in Maine

When I lived in New Hampshire the last couple years, this was one of my favorite spots to take New England newbies when they visited.

It’s always so beautiful, whether overcast or sunny. But make sure to bring a jacket even if you visit in the warmer months! All that ocean water air can be icy. In the summer you can catch lobster roll food trucks and icee vendors. Then just down the road from here is a bakery with the best whoopie pies you’ll ever taste. My favorite is the key lime cake version :) Portland
