Welcome to the Historic Browns Head Lighthouse, Maine
Located in scenic Maine - a unique and historic destination where guests step into the role of lighthouse keepers.
Perched atop a volcanic outcrop overlooking Penobscot Bay, this active beacon invites you to experience coastal life from a perspective only past lighthouse keepers have witnessed.
Experience the rhythm of the working waterfront, while watching the ebb and flow of the tide in one of the largest lobster fishing communities on the East Coast. The lighthouse is an active U.S Coast guard active aid to navigation, with the original 4th order Fresnel Lens. Unfortunately, the tower is only accessible to the Coast Guard.
Browns Head is a seasonal two-bedroom home perched on 12 acres of land, with a full spectrum view of the Fox Islands Thorofare. The lighthouse has been completely renovated, creating a historic and serene retreat.
With spectacular water views from almost every window and close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, you will enjoy watching marine wildlife, ships, lobster boats, and an occasional schooner, from the lighthouse during your stay.

Accessibility Notice
Accessibility is part of what makes this stay so memorable—and it's worth noting up front so you can plan accordingly. After parking in the designated area above the lighthouse, guests will make their way down a long exterior stairway that leads to the deck and front entrance. The walk down is scenic and rewarding, with beautiful views along the way, but the number of steps is significant and may not be suitable for those with mobility challenges or difficulty navigating stairs. Many guests find it to be part of the unique charm of staying in such a special, historic setting—just something to be prepared for before you arrive.
