The Breakwater Lighthouse sits at the end of a 7/8 mile long breakwater. Built in the 1800’s, the breakwater was put in place to protect the Rockland waterfront from damaging nor’easters that were preventing it from becoming a commercial port. #48HRS #Rockland #themainemag #lovemaine #livemaine #maineoutdoors #mainethings #visitmaine #maine
