How we would fit it into your day

Plan from Boothbay Harbor. Boothbay and Southport are separate towns; Southport is reached by bridge. Confirm the exact boarding point on your ticket. Seasonal tours and the botanical gardens remain available to browse until dates are verified. Gardens Aglow uses separate advance timed tickets. No island landing or wildlife sighting is guaranteed.

Before you go

A half-mile trail on Southport Island, reached by road and bridge. Lighthouse grounds are private; this is not a lighthouse tour. Check beach rules, tides and footing.
