Know Before You Go

  • Two Lights State Park offers stunning ocean views, rocky coastline access, and the iconic twin lighthouses (though only one is still active).
  • Visitors can enjoy picnicking, exploring the rocks and trails (some easy, some moderately challenging), and photography opportunities, but swimming is not recommended due to dangerous conditions.
  • The park has an entrance fee, limited amenities (restrooms and picnic tables), and can get crowded, especially during peak season, so planning ahead is advised.

About Two Lights State Park

Discover the rugged beauty of Maine's coastline at Two Lights State Park in Cape Elizabeth. This park offers stunning panoramic ocean views and a fascinating glimpse into the state's military history. Hike the popular Two Lights Loop Trail, a short and manageable 0.6-mile loop suitable for various skill levels, combining paved, universally-accessible sections with scenic stairs and a bit of forest path. Explore the remnants of abandoned military fort bunkers nestled amongst the coastal landscape and immerse yourself in the breathtaking scenery.

Planning your visit to Two Lights State Park? Keep in mind that there's a per-person entry fee ($7 for non-residents, $5 for Maine residents). Ample parking is available, and leashed dogs are welcome to join you on your adventure. While enjoying the spectacular coastline views between miles 0.15 and 0.35 of the loop, be aware of potential poison ivy along the trail. With its easy access and remarkable scenery, Two Lights State Park is the perfect destination for a quick coastal escape and a memorable outdoor experience.
