Personal Note:
If you take a day trip to Peak's Island, which is just off the coast of Portland, you'll get a unique view of Ram Island Ledge. When you find your way to Seashore Ave you'll see Ram Island Ledge Light. Look off in the distance beyond the lighthouse. To the left of it you'll see Portland Head light. Then far off in the distance to the left of Ram Island you can see Cape Elizabeth Light. One location, 3 lighthouses!

Latitude/Longitude: 43°38'N 70°11'W

• The best views of Ram Island Ledge can be seen from Portland Head Lighthouse
• From points south of Portland take Route 1 north into South Portland and take a right onto Broadway.
• In appx. 2.5 miles turn right onto Cottage St.
• In just over a mile Cottage St. becomes Shore Rd. (at the intersection with Woodbury St. on the left). Continue straight on Shore Rd.
• In just under a mile you'll come to the entrance to Fort Williams State Park. The lighthouse is at the far end of the park.
