Welcome to Burnt Island Light

Just off the coast of Boothbay Harbor, Burnt Island Light is where history, nature, and discovery come together.

With its historic lighthouse, rocky shore, and surrounding waters, the island invites visitors of all ages to slow down, explore, and connect with Maine’s maritime heritage.

Burnt Island isn’t just a destination — it’s an experience.

A Place to Learn and Wonder

Burnt Island is a living classroom, offering hands-on programs in history, marine science, and coastal ecology.

From school groups to families and lifelong learners, every visit brings new opportunities to discover and be inspired.

Our Mission

Keepers of the Burnt Island Light preserves the lighthouse and its natural environment while providing public access and educational experiences.

We work in partnership with the Maine Department of Marine Resources to care for this special place.

Why It Matters

Burnt Island is a rare place — peaceful, beautiful, and rich in history.

Stepping onto the island means leaving the mainland behind and entering a world shaped by light, water, and story.

For many, it’s a visit they never forget.
