Halfway Rock Lighthouse

Halfway Rock Lighthouse is a lighthouse located on a barren ledge in Casco Bay, Maine.[5] The lighthouse tower, which has a height of 76 feet (23 m), and the attached ex-boathouse are all that remains, as the other buildings have been taken away in storms. The name "Halfway Rock" comes from the position of the rock which is halfway between Cape Elizabeth and Cape Small, the southwest and northeast extremities of Casco Bay, which are about 18 nautical miles (33 km) apart.

    Tough day for a zodiac-style whale watching tour. The day was cold and windy with large waves. The ride out to the whale feeding area was grueling. Luckily we saw a pod of dolphins. The whales eluded us. The trip back to shore was easier and warmer. We saw 2 very nice and historic lighthouses.

  • The best ever
