Fort Williams Park

"Beautiful area. Parking is free during the off season and it's nice to come down and just watch the waves crash. Not a lot of options for beach walks, but it's a gorgeous location all the same, and an amazing spot to have a small picnic or quiet outing. A lot busier during tourist season and parking costs then, so probably only worth the visit for a local during the fall and early spring."

"Wow! There are few places on Earth as beautiful as Fort Williams. A must see when planning your trip to the area. There are spaces to sit and enjoy the view, grill out, sit on the rocks, enjoy a swing, the lighthouse, trails to walk, spaces to swim, historic sights to see, and even a great little food truck that sells lobster rolls most of the time. There is plenty of parking and friendly faces. Make sure you take some time to stop by and view the beautiful houses in the area."

"Most beautiful place! Was told it was one of the most photographed places in America. You will want to snap a photo so be sure you take your camera! Be sure and go over to the right side of the building and see where the famous ship wreck happened, very interesting , the whole crew survived, Annie McGuire story. Most beautiful light house I have ever seen and I have seen several lighthouses up and down the Easter coast. WOW don’t miss this!!!"

"Beautiful waterfront park, free and open to the public, located in Cape Elizabeth. It's most well-known for being the home of Portland Head Light, but it's actually a huge park with an old fort, a cliff walk, a shell of a house, a playground, a picnic area, a huge green space and lots of parking. Beautiful views of Casco Bay and Portland across the harbor. There is a well-known food truck Bite Me, specializing in lobster rolls, but it's also a popular place to bring a picnic or to grill. Portland Head Light is a gorgeous lighthouse with a beautiful attached keeper's house, the most iconic lighthouse in Maine. Highly recommend a visit. Bring your walking shoes and explore this gorgeous park with a picnic lunch and stay a few hours taking in all the views. 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"This was a very pleasant experience, the views are some that if you arrive on a beautiful day with the sun shining you will be surprised! Plenty of parking, but it is not free so keep that in mind. There are no restrooms at the lighthouse itself, but there are some near the parking lot. Plenty of space to spread out and take some great photos of the ocean and the sailboats."
