Cape Elizabeth is a nice short trip away, approximately a 20-minute drive, and is best known for its lighthouses. Two Lights lighthouse, which is featured in Edward Hopper's well-known "The Lighthouse at Two Lights," is a painting housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Portland Head Light is also considered one of the most photographed lighthouses in  Maine, and some even say the entire U.S.
