3 Reasons to Take a Burnt Island Lighthouse Tour This Summer
Learn About a Piece of Living History
Balmy Days Cruises’ Burnt Island Lighthouse Tour is a trip back in time. As you walk the grounds of the lighthouse, reenactors embodying keeper Joseph Muise and his family will demonstrate the ins and outs of lighthouse living in the 1950s. You will be able to visit their home and explore the lantern room after a walk up the spiral staircase. More than just an average guided tour, this experience is interactive and engaging – a truly memorable way to learn about a piece of maritime history.
Explore a Gorgeous Island
Burnt Island itself is just as much a part of the Burnt Island Lighthouse Tour as the lighthouse history. Included in the tour is a hike through some of the most scenic parts of the 5-acre island. Burnt Island’s dense wooded areas, rocky oceanside cliffs, and Kayack Beach mean there is plenty to take in on this visually arresting enclave.
Enjoy Viewing Native Wildlife
In addition to appreciating the fascinating geological features of the island, you will also be able to view some of coastal Maine’s diverse native wildlife. Watch the waves for porpoises and other marine life, check the rocks for sunning seals, and look up to observe the various types of migrating birds that call the island home in the summer.
