Purchase prints and gifts featuring photographs on this page Location: Located on Curtis Island at the entrance to the harbor at Camden. Latitude: 44.20139 Longitude: -69.04887 For a larger map of Curtis Island Lighthouse, click the lighthouse in the above map or get a map from: Mapquest. Travel Instructions: Curtis Island Lighthouse is best seen from the water, but distant views are possible by taking Bay View Street east from Highway 1 in downtown Camden. The property along the water side of Bay View Street is mostly private, making it hard to find an area for a good view of the island. Several cruises are offered from Camden that pass by this light. One example is the One Hour Coastal tour offered aboard the Betselma. The fourth-order Fresnel lens that was used in the Curtis Island Lighthouse from 1857 to 1994 is on display at the Camden Public Library. A fogbell dedicated to the keepers of Curtis Island Light and presumably used on the island is on display along the Camden waterfront. The lighthouse is owned by the Town of Camden. Grounds open, dwelling/tower closed. Find the closest hotels to Curtis Island Lighthouse See our List of Lighthouses in Maine |
