One of my favorite lighthouses! Wear good shoes so you can carefully adventure/hop between rocks to get a closer look at the lighthouse. Visit during golden hour and it will be magical!

Watch your step... If you venture out to the lighthouse be careful the view is worth the trip.

One of the cutest little lighthouses in Maine! Overlooking Casco Bay and the islands in it. Get lovely views of Fort Gorges and Portland Headlight.

Beautiful and magical! A great short adventure. NOT recommended for small children. Its very dangerous to hop from rock to rock for little ones. Recommended for kids 8+. Great photo spot

We drove over there on a bright sunny day in July and checked out Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse. The parking was not easily accessible but it was worth stopping to look at. Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse is very pretty. The lighthouse, water and boats helped to make for beautiful pictures.

The lighthouse is very well maintained. The bay views are relaxing and calming. An awesome spot to watch the shipping lanes. Enjoyed it a lot.

This light house is at the end of a man made rock wall. A great place to get scenic photos. Parking is rather limited so going on off times is recommend. Definitely worth a stop.

I’d suggest wearing tennis shoes if you want to walk up to the lighthouse because you’ll walk over rocks, but I had no issue in sandals. Very pretty and nice to sit on the rocks and soak in the view. Free parking.

You’d think the path was an easy stroll, but some have some great leaps for the little ones. Very neat lighthouse.

Beautiful! Not for small children due to the large rocks and deep crevices. We loved it!

Good lighthouse. Might be private property, we couldn’t get up close. But a nice walk around.

An absolute must to sightsee and visit when in downtown Portland. Be warned the parking situation is a disaster as there’s like 4 spots total to park your car during the week (which is when we went) if you plan on visiting. There’s shared parking with the local municipality and school which means either get there early or have someone sit in the car and the other person walk to the lighthouse. The walk on the big stones was an experience to remember. We saw this light house from afar ok our ducks boat tour of downtown Portland and it was awesome to visit in person and see where we were pointing to from the ducks boat. Other than the parking it’s a great place to be, sit on the bench and enjoy the scenery or get some walking in all the way to the lighthouse and back.

Beautiful lighthouse and fort. Great history

Cute little lighthouse. Set on a jetty. You can walk out and get up close.

A beautiful lighthouse with views of multiple historic forts and batteries on the surrounding islands. The areas around the lighthouse aren’t very crowded and it’s easy to find your own space to relax near the light. Since it’s proximity to the airport and docks, you get plenty of plane flyovers and views of quite a few sailboats going past. I would recommend this lighthouse as a good alternative to the Portland headlight for anyone who dislikes crowds or just wants a different sight.

Great free Park to visit. Good views of the lighthouse if you can handle the Rocky mole to get out there.

Great rocks check out the two tone ones on the jetty

A great lighthouse with nice harbor views from out on the jetty. Mind the occassional large gap between some of the giant slabs of rock if you venture out onto the jetty. If you do, youll be rewarded with a great 360° panorama of the harbor. The visitor parking was limited, but other spots normally in use by the community college where the park is located were available. Dont miss driving over to nearby Bug Light. Its five minutes away and is a unique style of lighthouse that is very easily accessible.

Wonderful place to view the sight. Rocky walk is fun and interesting. Kids love a lot.

This was great! I stopped here trying to kill time while my firemd was in an all day surgery. The parking lot was full but people rotated quickly on the actual ledge. It was busy but I still had an opportunity where I was able to get a picture of the lighthouse without anyone on the ledge. Definitely worth the stop! Very very peaceful and beautiful.

A nice place to take and enjoyable but carful walk from the mainland to the lighthouse on a nice sunny day. The walk is not for young children or for those who have trouble walking and you often have to take giant steps between large chunks of granite that make up the breakwater between the lighthouse and the campus of the Southern Maine Community College on the grounds of the old Fort Preble. At the base of the breakwater you can explore the old gun emplacement where large cannons once stood.The lighthouse lies between Bug Light in South Portland and Portland Head Light and Two Lights both in Cape Elizabeth. Thus it is easy to take a multiple lighthouse excursion in one day or part thereof.

The light houses were outstanding.

Nice spot on the water, the walk out to the lighthouse is a little tricky in spots but not impossible. :) Great place to take pictures and look at the water!

Fun walk to the lighthouse over all of the rocks. Very close to Bug Lighthouse as well.

Its a beautiful place. It has a lot of history there

Just a small walk from the Bug Lighthouse, we visited Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse. We walked the rocky path to the islands edge to visit this beautiful lighthouse. Amazing views! We are so in love with all the beauty that Maine offers. Follow our adventure (see more photos) via Facebook/Instagram @ Happy Campers 227 as we travel this beautiful country full time.

One of the historic lighthouses close to downtown Portland. Free admission. Worth a visit if you are in town and have a car. Bundle up if you are visiting in the winter as the weather can be quite brutal around the area.

Me and the man took our fluffy pink piggy to this lighthouse. It was good

Nice, but finding a place to park could be challenging

Free parkingFree admissionEasy to find via GPSNo public restroomsNo water fountainNot child stroller accessibleNot wheel chair accessibleGreat little park and beach. Wear comfortable shoes because the terrain is uneven and you could easily injure yourself on the rock path to the lighthouse.There is a grocery store (HannaFord) a few miles away with public restrooms. I would advise using the restroom before going to this park. You can also buy sunscreen, water and snacks for your lighthouse visit.

There wasnt much to do necessarily, but it was gorgeous. And I had a huge amount of fun running around on the rocks.

A very challenging walk to the light house. FYI- Their are gaps between the rocks, rocks are at different height levels and rocks can be slippery. No one can enter the light house, however the feeling of accomplishment was great and the views are amazing. I dont recommend this for the elderly or very young or anyone wearing flip flops. There is also a fort next door and a fort across the bay of the light house.

What a great place to visit and was totally by chance. We were visiting Southern Maine College and saw it. What a great walk out onto the lighthouse.

Beautiful spot to visit, gorgeous night and so peaceful . If you need a moment to reset your vibes, to smell the sea and taste the night i recommend a stop here.

This is my favorite lighthouse in Maine!! There are so many to see! :) walking out on the boulders added to the experience tremendously.

Nice little Lighthouse with a Rocky Ledge not far from the City. A great place to relax with a great view of the harbor.Parking is a bit limited but worth a visit.

A little hard to get to with the rocks but gorgeous small lighthouse to visit.

Very pleasurable light house. Be warned the walk out is a bit rocky so don’t recommend if you’re not comfortable with balancing.

Great day trip and scenic spot for a picnic.

Maintained well and a fun place to walk around, or chill at the beach. I went almost every morning to walk the beach and the trail that wraps around SMCC. (also good for Pokemon Go if youre into that)

Challenging but doable walk to light was fun. Plan your steps and have at it.

Great place to walk around & a good place to collect sea glass

Long walk over granite boulders to a beautiful vista in South Portland. Small gift shop. Remnants of granite fortification.

One of.my favorite places

Great, scenic spot for a walk! Beware slipper stones if youre making your way all the way to the actual lighthouse, the gaps between stones are larger than youd think. But its kind of exhilarating to do, anyway, especially with the waves crashing all around you on a windier day.

A nice lighthouse in the state of Maine.

Great little lighthouse and a pleasant hike out to it over the breakers. Even young people and older folks can make the home out and back.

If you love lighthouses, then this is a must visit. Its a good walk, and a beautiful historic area to enjoy

Great little lighthouse but the parking could use some help. For as busy as it is here...we really shouldnt have to fight students for parking. Put in meters and charge a dollar with an hour max. Something to help the parking situation.

Had professional photos taken there. Offers many ideal spots to represent what a small coastal & historical Maine town has to offer.

Nice place to go for walk and take scenery pictures.

Nice little day trip

Gorgeous spot to check out Casco bay, the Portland skyline and fish.

Beautiful

Beautiful any time of year!

Great lighthouse visit on Maine open lighthouse day. Learned the history of the lighthouse. Great location to view ships coming and going from Portland.

Located on the campus of the community college!! Beautiful lighthouse, lots of history! I could sit there for hours.

One of our favorite things to do in Portland is to drive out to a nearby lighthouse at the crack of dawn and greet the rising sun.Spring Point has served this little tradition of ours very well. We love its long approach to made of large breaker boulders.We always seem to be greeted by majestic loons, ducks, and in the rare occasion, seals.Bring a warm cup of coffee, sit, relax, and enjoy the day :)

Beautiful views

Beautiful place to go anytime. For a walk, to think, to observe nature, to enjoy . I loved it and you can also have some nice pictures.

Amazing views! Not that easy to get too. Make sure you have good agility!

We took our girls, 8 and 10 to the Lighthouse for the first time. We walked/hopped the rock-way out to the Lighthouse. It is always a beautiful sight! Definitely somewhere to stop if youre in the area!

What a great place to visit. It will not be easy for an older person or some someone with mobility issues to get out to the light house

Great place to walk along the breakwater rocks.

If you like history and great views, take the lighthouse tour when its open. Fantastic experience! Our guide, Pete, was very knowledgable and friendly. Only $5. This whole area is a hidden gem of Portland.

Were able to go up in the light and had a great tour. Our favorite lighthouse. Very cool walk out to it

Not much parking because it’s on a college campus. The path to the light house is pretty precarious as well. But it’s a view on a nice day. Just be careful on your way out.

They gave us a great tour. The walk out is very interesting. Its about a thousand feet on very uneven surfaces. The wind ride it for most of our walk. But it can be treacherous when wet.

Beautiful location with a great view. Right behind SMCC and a great place for a walk right down to the water.

So cool. We got to climb to the top of the light house and see how it used too be run as opposed too the automated system they have now. The history and the views were worth the long walk out on the rocks from fort premble.

Beautiful at sunrise!

Cool light house, good for pics

Great place, but if you are going at night be careful

A place I always stop at. Come early or be super patient if you want to snap the perfect “people free” photo.

Real nice and scenic place. The walk to the lighthouse is really fun.

Great adventure walking on rocks right up to lighthouse. Beautiful views and worth checking it out.

Beautiful

One of many favorite lighthouses but extra special because of fond childhood memories here.

Watch your step to the lighthouse. Got a few pictures and left. It was very windy when we went. View was nice, but wasnt breath taking as Portland Head lighthouse.

Its a nice and less visited place. Its a 10 minute walk on the stones to the lighthouse. Some nice photo shots. Also the remnants of forts/defensive holds shows the importance of this bay.Parking is very very limited. There are like 2 visitor spots and website says we can park in student parking however its a 5 minute walk from another lot. The closest lot has lot of reserved parking so we chose to park in the next lot to be safe.

I loved the lighthouse and the unique rock walk that you use to get to it. Be careful that you dont slip or trip, but overall a great lighthouse.

Nice little light house, nice views, can watch all the lobstermen in the harbor.

Nice views and a walking path around bunker ruins and beach.

It is a great pretty spot. Just wish the rocks didnt have such a split width to walk out to the lighthouse.

This is a really nice light house. Plus its a fun walk out to the light house.

What a beautiful place to visit and great area to spend time

Beautiful place & a fun walk out to the lighthouse

Very nice ferry ride from Portland to Peaks Island riding by the lighthouse.

This is a great lighthouse to visit and is just across the water from Old Port (the historic part of Portland). Totally worth the visit and a great spot for some photos. It looks like you might be able to tour it during special hours or by request- wish I wouldve looked into that before we visited since we like history!

Parking was tough. You are on a college campus and many of the parking spots are reserved. You can climb out on the rocks and walk out to the lighthouse. Great picture opportunities and lots of fun. Mind the smaller children because there are some deep cracks between the rocks but nothing too dangerous. We went in the late afternoon and the pictures were fantastic.

Iconic. Great photo ops

Picturesque lighthouse at the end of a long granite block causeway. Easy walk out and back but you do have to navigate gaps in the blocks so wear appropriate footwear.

5/5 almost slipped

It was breathtakingly beautiful here.

The walk on the rocks out to the lighthouse was really fun. Not too much to navigate and family friendly. Very limited parking, so be careful.

Nice scenic hike. Not good for kids over rocky and has revived.

Beautiful place to see and great history

Beautiful views

A beautiful view. Quintessential Maine. Walk out on the point, view the old fortress or go to the beach

Not the easiest walk for little kids (4+ are fine) since you need to take some big steps from rock to rock. Cool lighthouse.
