Dice Head Light, Coastal lighthouse in Castine, United States
The stone lighthouse with brick lining rises 51 feet above Penobscot River's eastern bank, featuring a white cylindrical tower and keeper's residence.
The United States Congress allocated 5,000 dollars to construct this navigational structure in 1828, marking the beginning of maritime safety in Castine Harbor.
The lighthouse belongs to the Castine Historic District, representing the maritime legacy of Maine through its architectural and functional preservation.
Visitors can access the lighthouse grounds during daylight hours by following Route 166 into Castine, though interior tours remain restricted.
After 72 years of darkness, local residents successfully campaigned to reactivate the lighthouse's beacon in 2008, restoring its maritime purpose.
