I have met here two grateful men and got a lot of historical information about this place. However, if you are non resident of Maine the entrance costs $7.00 per person. Amazing seashore, looks like wooden material of stone. I have touched so many times, soft and tender ground. The breeze is delicious, a houses along the seashore seems so cheerful. I bless this place as many of in Maine.

This park was quiet and peaceful. The day we went, there were only a few people there walking around. The view was absolutely breathtaking and it was awesome to climb down the cliff to the water. Would definitely recommend to stop here if in the area.

I visited here on a cold and rainy day in October but it was really stunning. The rocky coast was beautiful. There is an entry fee of $5 per adult as you drive in.

Very nice area with stunning views over the cliffs and sea. Its $7 admission per person, but worth it for the views and if youre looking for some peace and quiet. Less crowded than the nearby Fort Williams park, but we were late to visit (mid October).

Visited in the pouring rain, made for a pretty wicked atmosphere. Death Stranding anyone?

Came to watch waves hit the rocks with a hurricane off shore. Not a swimming beach, spectacular rock formations. Multiple picnic groves in shade, more along the ocean view trail. Limited parking, small unisex rest rooms.

Nice park. A lot of parking space. Lots of places to sit. Entry is a bit pricey at 7$ per person for the size of the park.

Very windy and sunny - but cant complain this time of year! Brought my dog and went with my parents whom both recently had ortho surgeries. plenty of picnic table close to the parking lot, nice public restrooms. My recommendation is to get Italians from DiPietros and bring a dog and a friend or two!

Good but note that the lighthouses are not in the state park. Youd need to drive around the block to see them but off the street since they are in private residence.

We’d never been here in our many years living in Portland! What a lovely place to explore. Beautiful coastal views, trails, and some gorgeous picnic areas. Can’t wait to return!

A wonderful 41 acres State Park near to the Cape Elizabeth Light House (aka Two Lights) which no access is allowed to the Light House. Crystal clear water, waves crashing over the rocks, great place to take a stroll. We were blessed with a clear, warm and serene peaceful day a couple Octobers ago when we passed through the area. Simply lovely.

This park is absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views of the ocean. Several walking trails that take you around the water. There are many benches and picnic tables scattered throughout the park. Pack a lunch, walk a trail and enjoy the views!

For some reason we weren’t able to find the two lights (lighthouses? Can someone help me out here haha?) but this was a lovely place to stroll in and sit on rocks. Had a great time here and would have loved to bring a nice picnic with me.

My family is from MA. We have been vacationing in Maine for almost 45 yrs. We usually stay in the Pine Point or OOB areas. No vacation would be complete without a trip out to Two Lights, as my kids and many nieces and nephews fondly refer to it! We have been known to spend an entire afternoon enjoying the picturesque scenery. We usually end the trip there with a cookout and S mores before calling it a day. We look forward to going back every year. Highly recommend it to everyone!!

Breathtaking views. Perfect picnic spot. You cant swim here. Just grab a bench and enjoy the waves crashing. Really cool rock formations. Must be a fun spot for geologists.

This place was beautiful! Did not stay long but will go back up and pack a barbecue lunch. Cook on the grills. The cascading like stones that you have to navigate your way down to get to the water was awesome. Very much say you should go here.

Simply amazing!! The view was breathtaking. There is a picnic area super close from the parking lot and the ocean view there are also water fountains. This is definitely a nice spot for a wedding or a romantic day The tide was low and I was able to go close to the water.

Review №39

Easy scenic trails that you can do in a couple of hours. There are many secluded picnic tables so pack your lunch and enjoy the view. Unable to see any light houses from this park, but the ocean view is amazing. We bought an Annual car pass for $105 to get us in to all 35 State Parks in Maine this summer. This is for sure one we will go back and visit again.

After living in Maine most of my life, for the first time in 37 years I finally came here. I had a wonderful time walking around taking photos and the sunset was amazing. The fall is a really great time of year to go. I highly recommend coming here.

We went on a weekday and it was not very busy which was great. It is a really neat place to see the ocean crash against rock ledges. Sometimes nothing is as relaxing as washing waves crash on the rocks.

Review №46

A great place to sit and relax, listening to the waves crash against the rocks. Also, fun to explore the pools at low tide. What isnt fun is finding a ton of golf balls from people being disrespectful and hitting them into the ocean.

Awesome, awesome place... Beautiful, crashing waves, large outcropping of rocks, lots and lots of flora, as well as some exquisite captivating views of the quintessential rocky Maine coast... If youre looking for some photo ops... This is DE PLACE

Such a great place to visit, see the ocean, and climb on some rocks. In milder weather, the picnic tables look like theyd be perfect for a family get-together. Nominal entrance fee is well worth the experience here.

This a great park to visit pretty much all year round (baring major snow fall). There are some stunning views, especially from the top of the ‘fort’ area. There’s also a playground for kids, and lots of tables and benches to stop at. My only issue is that some of the stairs in the park have become a bit unstable to use and my friends/family and I had some trouble with slipping and stumbling. Other than that, it’s always a great experience at Two Lights.

This is my favorite place in the world. Love coming in the fall when the tourist leave. But its great in summer looking through the tidal pools. Waves crashing on the rocks. Theres little some what secluded areas with grills off the main paths. Not very far from Higgins beach, Cresent Beach and The Portland Headlight.

Beautiful small coastal Maine park with very interesting geological features. Perfect location for a day hike, picnic or family gathering. Group areas can be reserved. Dog friendly, with the usual rules.Friendly staff, ample parking and clean, modern restrooms. $2.00 admission for seniors, and very good seasonal rates if youll be a regular visitor.Use care with little ones, as the cliff access is very easy.Ease your post hike hunger at The Lobster Shack at Two Lights, Cape Elizabeth!

It’s a beautiful place to visit and do yoga. Not bad of a hike, I recommend going in the morning if you want to see the whole park. We somewhat run out of time and it gets really dark. We also didn’t have issue with parking but was told by one of the residents in Maine that it gets really crowded in Summer. We went there around August.

Truthfully I was disappointed when pulling into the park and walking out onto the paths only to realize their were not two light.....houses in the park, but man did that not even matter when my fiance and I came upon the rocky coast. Absolutely stunning panoramic view of the ocean and the calming affect of the waves washed over us. Such a beautiful park that is very much kept clean.

Review №76

A great place to spend the afternoon enjoying the Maine coastline. There isnt a lot of space to roll a stroller, and you will want to keep a close eye on very small children or toddlers. But over the past few years they have added many new benches making it easy to find a place to snuggle with a loved one or cuddle up with a book while enjoying the breeze and Sea sounds and smells.

Meticulously maintained park with stunning views off Cape Elizabeth, tide pools, trails atop bluffs and in pine forest, lots of little private picnic areas, clean bathrooms and a great playground! Plenty of parking too, add it all up and its more than worth the price of admission.

First timer and saw whales!!!! Very nice staff let us know there were whale sightings earlier in the day, lots of parking and restrooms. Beautiful walk by the beach. Dog friendly (on-leash!) as well. Sure enough, after sitting by the water for a few minutes we saw whales swimming and diving very close to the shore!! We watched them for about an hour, very exciting! Be sure to wear sturdy shoes to navigate the rocky terrain. We will definitely go back often!

It’s breathtaking. Views of the water from high on a cliff make all the stress go away. If in the area, this is a must stop.

Absolutely gorgeous place to enjoy both the beautiful coastline as well as some interesting history of the area. The shelter was in excellent shape and worked perfectly for our family event. The park also has a very clean restroom area and playground for children. Numerous walking g paths and ample photo opportunities.

Dont type in Cape Elizabeth to Google. Go park at Two Lights instead and you can have an amazing hike along the uneven coast to the Cape Elizabeth area where there is a restaurant and gift shop. So much fun but definitely wouldnt take my grandma because of the uneven rock(sorry grandma). For everyone else thats abled bodied its a worth while 5 stars.
