The most elegant of all Maine's lighthouses, this was modeled after an ancient Greek monument, built in the 4th century BC. The cast-iron, cylindrical light has Corinthian columns and charming Greek roof edge adornments called palmettes. It's dubbed "the bug" because of its small size. It sits in Bug Light Park, owned by South Portland, with free parking available. To reach the park, take route 77 south into S. Portland, go east on Broadway, then left on Pickett St. which becomes Madison St. and leads to the park. The light also can be seen from several Casco Bay cruises. Portland Breakwater Light was built in 1875.
