Wonderful little lighthouse with a delightful park. There are quite a few benches to sit on and admire the view and enjoy the fresh air. The path to the lighthouse are original laid stones that are beautiful but uneven so be careful when walking. You can actually walk all around the lighthouse. People are so nice, they stopped to talk to us and gave us tips on what to see and do in the area. Lovely.

Cool little lighthouse. Lots of parking and a nice walkway to and around the lighthouse. Lots of boat traffic to watch. Many park benches available to sit and watch the water, boats, waves. Very peaceful and serene. If you enjoy lighthouses like my family does they are several different ones nearby you can check out.

I love lighthouses. There are so many styles! And the history surrounding each one is a fascinating piece of local lore...

Nice place to catch a beautiful sunset over Portland. Family and pet friendly location to hang out. Open field area and benches to relax at. The lighthouse is an easy walk

Great park and nice views! Good place for a picnic or just to go for a walk.

Cute, little light. Great find.Has good parking and great spots to sit and have a sit down lunchbox picnic

Its a nice park to walk your dog! Beautiful views as well!

Very quiet and peaceful. Great place to walk around. Enjoy a nice picnic with great views

Bug Light (and the park) is an excellent place to get away from the city and stop to get some ocean time in. If you follow the path out to the light and find yourself on the far side of it, you get a wonderful view of the islands and bay. From Bug Light you can watch the ships come in and out, enjoy the scream of a passing seagull, and maybe even dip your feet in if you’re brave enough to navigate the rocks.*Not recommended for those with wheelchairs/walking aids or any issues with balance and walking. The stretch out to the light is not even and has cracks between the stones.

Very cool location, but the incredible lack of wearing masks per CDC guidelines was disappointing.

Clean and beautiful walking area, scenery!!

We bought a 2000 piece jigsaw puzzle of a light house. Eventually after assembling it we got to know that it is situated in the same state where my husband comes from (Maine). It’s a beautiful picture btw and I bet it looks even more spectacular in real life. Highly recommend both)))

Excellent running. Mornings before 8am there seem to be a lot of older folks. Be weary if you are excercise without a mask. Most everyone is very respectful of you and/or your groups space. Strange times!

Nice open space with parking options, waterfront scenery and paved walkway. Not much else, no facilities and popular with the dog folk (bags provided).

Small light house compare with other light house in Maine. Good view with sunset.

An easy and quick drive from downtown Portland, less than ten minutes gives you stunning views of the harbor and a beautiful park to stroll around, great for kids and pets. Take time to read the signs full of history and facts.

Cool little lighthouse.

Beautiful weather. Nice spot to get out and take a walk

Beautiful lighthouse. Spring point lighthouse is a few minutes away

Cute little lighthouse across from downtown view. Easy to park and walk to. Not too many people, making it enjoyable to visit

Love bug light!

Beautiful area with great views!

Great and safe for familys, kite flying with plenty of room.

Beautiful place to visit on sunrise and sunset...

Peaceful place to watch sail boats and fly kites.

A nice little lighthouse with easy access.

Great little park with small lighthouse. Busy park flying kites and kicking balls and small family picnics with view of CascoBay and Portland with view of cruise ship docks

It is a great place to go look at Portland itself and the harbor. We recommend this wonderful place for families or couples, even for a group of friends, to have a walk and some picnic there.

Morning walk with little traffic. Refreshing!

Fantastic views, great park for outdoor family activities and sunbathing!

This lighthouse has breath taking views over the water with all the different boats and ships passing by :)

Portland Breakwater Light (aka Bug Light) is actually in South Portland, ME at the edge of Bug Light Park, near the WW II Liberty Ship memorial.These places are gems in and of themselves but also offer a nice view of Portland across the harbor. On a nice day, one can sit for hours enjoying the sea breeze, watching the harbor traffic, and on the right day, watch expert kite fliers do their thing.

One of the gorgeous place I’ve been to. If you ever plan to visit Maine, you should add this on your list. Fresh air, good scenery and relaxing. Parking is not bad when we visited the place.

Great park with benches, picnic areas on the grass, lighthouse, and gorgeous views of downtown Portland. What more can you ask for?

Beautiful and in s small little nook in Portland that not too many tourist make it here.

Beautiful place to enjoy the ocean view see a cute small light house, relax and walk. Dogs welcome! I really enjoyed my trip here.

Very nice park with some great details about the past of the area.

Great lighthouse to visit when in downtown Portland. Plenty of parking and there’s a dog park nearby for the fur kids.

Beautiful spot. If you’re in need of a place for quiet contemplation and views, than look no further. Great little lighthouse with an equally nice park attached. A great place for fun with friends and family.

A small lighthouse, with a tremendous view of Casco Bay and Portland!

Very nice park with access to the lighthouse. Free! Small bike path.

This used to be my pups favorite spot. It was our spot. Now I go just for sea air and clarity. Not a bad back yard if you ask me.

Nice but parking was find because gog was wrong

Awesome place too escape. I Love it there.

Parking that overlooks the water. Easy to use walkways and large green space

Nice walking area. Would be nice to have playground for the kids. Love the idea of memorial plaques they had along walkway

Beautiful view. Nice place to walk, bring lunch and sit on a bench, and read about the history of war ships.

Great spot to take photos.

Always enjoy visiting while in Portland

Nice little lighthouse with a unique architecture. Parking is free (dont pay to park at the boat ramp parking lot, turn right and head over to the free lot meant for the park and lighthouse.) Very easily accessed and just a short walk from the parking lot. This is a nice case of two-for-one if you visit nearby Spring Point Lighthouse.

One of my favorite go-to lighthouses to visit during any time of the day! great for meeting someone, relaxing, or watching the sunset.

A little cool during evening but a very awesome place

Was a great place to take the family to watch the sun set

Romantic night with the husband. Perfect spot to snuggle up and watch a movie while the kids are rocking out in Portland.

Pretty little lighthouse. Park is nice. The free binoculars are a plus

Decent looking lighthouse. Not very big, but easy to get too and its in a very photogenic spot. Recommend.

Enjoyed our time in Maine visiting all the lighthouses. Loved all views from the Bug Lighthouse. Beautiful park surrounds the lighthouse... have a ice picnic or fly a kite. Follow our adventure via Facebook/Instagram @ Happy Campers 227 as we travel this beautiful country full time.

This is a beautiful small lighthouse at the entrance to Portland harbor. Great views of the busy harbor and the city on the other side. There is a walkway along the water and people often fly kites from the adjoining field. Plenty of free parking is available.

Adorable little lighthouse with bay views. You can walk out along the rocks too.

One of the nicest parks in South Portland, great view of the city and the working waterfront the make the old port such a melting pot of people

Very nice place.

Small but beautiful light house. Great view of the Bay. Be careful of the concrete slabs making up the jetty. Tricky to walk on

Fun place to go and walk. You can read up on the history of the location - nice little memorial area. If you hit it right, you can watch the kites.

Beautiful Lighthouse !!Great View Of The Portland Harbor !!!

Great for flying kites, running, dog walking. Wonderful views of Portland across the bay.

Amazing views

Great place

Pretty good looking light

Clean walking paths and a great place to bring your dog

We are so very fortunate to have this wonderful park and Bug Light so close to us. Its a grand spot to sit and watch the boats and ship and ferry traffic. The boat landing is a fine launch site and the kites flying overhead is a fine addition. The great little museum is so well done with lots of interesting photos and artifacts from earlier days. The gift shop offers hard to resist tokens of our lovely town, good selection of touristy trinkets and a good book selection. Just a fine place to pass a summer day....

Peace on the docks

Might possibly be the cutest lighthouse in the portland area ...well worth the visit

Nice place to take a walk and take scenery pictures.

If youre looking for a bit of quiet and relaxation with a fantastic view, ding ding. Good spots to sit, a little history, puppies running around, and relaxed

One of the must see lighthouses when in the Portland, ME area. I like the glass light fixture the most. It looks pretty cool.

The best views. Good place to bring a lunch and relax at one of the many tables

Wonderful sightseeing shoreline. I love lighthouses!

Cool area

Im a lighthouses enthusiast and have actually been here many times. The photos were, obviously, taken at night using my phone. At night the view of the Portland Skyline is amazing. And you can see the beacons from Spring Point & Portland Headlight flashing in the distance.

Small and not that picturesque but great park and near the highway

What a great little park! Its smallish, but with ample parking and a boat launch. Theres a green for some rough housing, but not big enough for any team sports. You could kick around a ball a little. Theres biking and walking paths that are popular. The big fun is the trail leading to the small lighthouse complete with a historical info board.. Youve got to read it, very cool! Add as a bonus, there is an in-depth history/art installation dedicated to the areas contribution to ww2 ship building! If youre doing it as a history lesson, its a good hour to go through and discuss all aspects of the display.

Nice walking trail

You don’t come here for the lighthouse but the view of the city is pretty! Lots of free parking.

A very interesting light house.

Great park, awesome views of Casco Bay & Portland. Good for picnics, sunbathing, reading a book, flying kites...nice place for the family to go and a great place to meet up with friends, also good place to view July 4th fireworks in Portland but not as crowded.

Good for picnic

An active remnant of Portlands past, stunning park and memorials that speak volumes.

Neat memorial

Loved the view and plenty of parking!

Kids love this place. Great views of Portland harbor.

Beautiful light

We did the Light House tours by land and by sea. Loved the view.

Loved this little gem on our Lighthouse hunt.

Great views of Portland harbor

Great park for kites. Spectacular views.

Free parking, never crowded. Easy to navigate up to the lighthouse, but not wheelchair accessible.

Really nice park with lots of greenspace. Also provides some of the best southern views of Portland across the bay in the area. Bug light is a cute little lighthouse, and you can walk right up to it. Also a great park for viewing all the boat traffic in and out of the harbor.

Gorgeous park and history rich lighthouse. Easy access & parking for everyone to enjoy! Worth checking out!

Beautiful Park

Classically inspired 19th Century lighthouse.
