Cape Elizabeth's Portland Headlight is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world. It is also widely believed that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote many lines of his poems while sitting at his favorite spot near the base of its tower. However, those who only visit the lighthouse are missing out on the rich history of the area and some of the best scenery in central Maine. Two Lights State Park offers unobstructed views of Casco Bay and a view of the two lighthouses. Crescent Beach State Park attracts sunbathers as well as fisherman and water sports enthusiasts. It is a popular spot for families because the crescent shape of the mile-long beach keeps big waves at bay.

Eastport is also home to America's only remaining mill producing stone ground mustard. Raye's Mustard Mill.
