Located on an island just offshore from Biddeford Pool, Maine, Wood Island Lighthouse is a unique Maine island lighthouse experience.

The Friends of Wood Island Lighthouse, a chapter of the American Lighthouse Foundation, offers special tours during July and August (Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays) of the light tower and keeper’s house. Transportation is provided.

Tour Information:

Your trip begins as you embark LightRunner at Vines Landing in Biddeford Pool for a 15-min trip to the island. Upon arrival at the island, your volunteer host will welcome you and share what life was like for a keeper on this island station. You will then take a beautiful half-mile walk along the elevated wooden boardwalk to the lighthouse itself. Visitors have the opportunity to tour the keeper’s house, climb the tower, explore the grounds and take photos.
