Accessible Lighthouses on the New England Coast

Lighthouses are the icons of the New England coast, and many of the most famous can be enjoyed from paved viewpoints near parking. Here are a few that work well with a wheelchair or mobility scooter.

Nubble Light, York, Maine

Sitting on its own little island, Nubble is viewed from Sohier Park, with parking right at the viewpoint. One of the easiest lighthouse visits anywhere. See York rentals.

Portland Head Light, Cape Elizabeth, Maine

In Fort Williams Park, with paved paths to the light and ocean views. Some paths slope, so a 4-wheel scooter is helpful. See Cape Elizabeth.

Portsmouth Harbor Light, New Castle, NH

Next to Fort Constitution. See our Fort Constitution guide.

Tips

• Go early or late in the day for parking and softer light.
• Bring a jacket, the wind at the point is always stronger.
• A travel scooter that breaks down for the trunk is ideal for a lighthouse-hopping day.
