History/Info:
Pond Island Light sits on a small island just a few hundred yards off of Popham Beach. The island the light is on is owned by the US Fish and Wildlife service. The general public is not allowed on the island because it is used as a bird refuge. However, many boat tours out of Bath and Boothbay Harbor pass by the lighthouse.

Latitude/Longitude: 43°44'N 69°46'W
