This coastal retreat in New England offers a studio-style pad to sleep in and the original 1901 tower to explore, plus miles of deserted beaches for a stroll or some time to just lounge around. Then, you can spend the day exploring nearby farmland and a ninety-acre bird reserve that’s home to eagles soaring overhead, migrating whales, and all the other beach creatures you love to see. The property also has a cottage that can sleep larger groups.
This historic lighthouse in Maine is a must-visit for seabird lovers and history buffs alike. Located on a remote shoal, the lighthouse is reached by a half-mile hike up a gentle trail (bring rain boots).

It’s an ideal spot to unwind with a cocktail, read a book, and take in the gorgeous scenery.
