Every December, the "Flying Santa" lands at Pemaquid Point to hand out candy and wish everyone a happy holiday. It's a tradition that dates back to 1929, and is still much anticipated today.

Pemaquid Beach is for exploring. Here, a couple of budding marine biologists uncover the mysteries of a tidepool. This was just one of many hands-on discovery events put on each summer by the Beachcomber's Rest Nature Center

In the 19th Century, Bristol students walked to school. And when they got there, they spent their day learning the three "R's" in a one-room schoolhouse. You can get a glimpse of life in a bygone era by stopping by the Old Rock Schoolhouse on Sunday and Wednesday afternoons during the summer.

Every June, the Rosa Rugosas are in full bloom at Pemaquid Point and Pemaquid Beach.

Just west of the Keeper's House is a small brick building that was once used to store the fuel needed to keep the lighthouse beacon lit. At first, the keeper's used whale oil; later, they switched to kerosene.

On most days during the summer, you can climb the tower for a spectacular view of the rocky coast and islands beyond. The tower is currently operated by the American Lighthouse Foundation, under a lease from the US Coast Guard.
