Overview
Bristol (population ~2,000)
Here in the quaint town of Bristol
stands the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse (most recently voted to represent the whole of Maine on the U.S. Maine
Quarter) where the majestic scene of ever-present crashing waves is just as
iconic as the lighthouse itself. The Maine oceanfront properties
of Bristol are accompanied by small general stores,
antique shops and boat builders. The
open ocean adds both a visual and audible note to any day, with the sweeping
panorama of the Gulf
of Maine always within
walking distance, and the din of the water crashing against the granite shores
always underscoring the sound of the town’s modest activity.
