Here's Becky peeking from behind The Caretaker's Shed at the Pemaquid (not Permaquid as I scribed in my last post) Lighthouse Park in New Harbor, Maine.
The shed from the inside looking out. The Town of Bristol maintains the park. The park occupies about 60 acres with expansive views of the Altantic Ocean.
There are a dozen picnic tables along the shoreline dispersed among Sea Pines, boulders and very well maintained grassy areas. Serene yes, gorgeous views yes, steeped with history yes, inspiring yes, but I warn you..... no matter what month, day or time you choose to visit the park - WEAR A JACKET!
I cannot imagine feeling "warm" in this park without a few layers of clothing. That constant breeze (WIND) coming off the Atlantic will raise some bumps - goosebumps!
It is an incredible place to spend an afteroon, to review your awe of nature, or to find it for the first time.
Although the lighthouse is no longer occupied by a keeper, there is a one bedroom apartment which can be rented in that building. One other building in the park is a Fisherman's Museum. These tools look as though they would be better used by Vincent Price in a movie called Toture of the Undead.
Ohh by the way, there is a working lighthouse which flashes its white light every six seconds. Image that! A Lighthouse Park with a working Lighthouse.
Go Figure!
