Discover Portland Maine and the shores of Casco Bay by bicycle! Join us for the 5 lighthouse bicycle tour of Portland, Maine featuring the Maine coast, lighthouses, and Portland’s history. We have made some modifications to the 5 Lighthouse tour in response to COVID-19. We have modified the tour to allow us not to have guests in our vehicles. As a result of this change, guests will begin biking from the Ocean Gateway and return to the Ocean Gateway by bicycle. Groups will generally see only 4 lighthouses (Bug Light, Spring Point, Portland Head Light, and Ram Island Ledge). Lunch will be provided by the award-winning "Bite into Maine" Food Truck
The first of five lighthouses is Bug Light. We will stop for pictures and tell you the history of the city of Portland, Maine
We will pause at the Liberty Ship Memorial to talk about shipbuilding during World War 2
The second lighthouse. You will learn the history of the lighthouse and how Portland Harbor was integral to the navy during World War 2. We will walk the breakwater out to the lighthouse for an up-close look. If the lighthouse is open for tours ( it is usually open on Tuesday and Thursday) you will take a guided tour.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
