I could spend all day here, so many different scenic spots to view from. Nice bathrooms. Decent kids playground. Good parking. There are clear directions in and out. Its also very clearly marked where to go and its very open. The play area is well away from the water which is good because it opens right onto the cliffs and can be dangerous footing for kids. There is a well maintained trail all along the shore line and plenty of spots to view the amazing coast line. There is also quite an abundance of picnic areas with tables and grills. Each one is semi private so you aren't crowded by other tourists. I was amazed as I walked along the trail that there were so many birds to listen to and the sound of the water was loud but soothing. Top 5 on my places to chill out on a summer day.

Went here as a child, in 1980. I have remembered the beauty and peace ever since. I couldn't travel to Maine without going back. I was worried that I would feel let down.

It was even more breathtaking now. Watching and hearing the waves crash bright me to tears. The structure of the rocks is amazing and quite unique. 

I wanted to stay forever.

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.

Very scenic and the rocks are very interesting to look at; beautiful overall. We did not see a lighthouse, but that did not take away from the scenery. Since it's a state park, there will be an entrance fee.

You know that Two Lights is more than worth visiting since you have to take a long backroad with a 25 MPH Speed Limit to a dead end at a rocky point! This backroad takes about 6-8 minutes to drive from Route 77 to the point due to the low speed limit and length. I walked over the rocky hill to HUGE Crashing Waves smashing into absolutely breathtaking rock formations and washing over them at high tide! The waves were easily 15-20 feet high when I went this past Saturday late morning during high tide. Just the huge wave action and beautiful rocky coastline scenery make this spot well worth a visit and I didn’t want to leave! Will definitely be returning to Two Lights on my next Maine Coast Vacation!!
