Egg Rock Light, Coastal lighthouse in Frenchman Bay, Maine, United States.
The square tower of Egg Rock Light extends through a keeper's house, with white-painted walls rising 12 meters above the rocky shore point.
Built in 1875, this navigational structure guided vessels through Frenchman Bay waters with its fifth-order Fresnel lens until modern technological upgrades replaced the system.
The lighthouse represents the maritime heritage of Maine's coast, earning recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
The automated lighthouse flashes red every 40 seconds, functioning as an active navigational aid between Mount Desert Island and Schoodic Peninsula.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service manages the island where the lighthouse stands, maintaining both the main structure and the 1904 fog station building.
