The travel publication recently named the best places to propose around the world and Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth, Maine made the list of 32 spots — one of just three in the U.S.

” Portland Head Light was named the most beautiful lighthouse in New England by Boston.com readers. The lighthouse tower is open to the public on Maine Open Lighthouse Day , taking place this year on Sept.
13. Other destinations on CNT’s list include Pyrgos Castle in Santorini, Greece; Turtle Island in Fiji; Slieve League Cliffs in Ireland; and Villa Cimbrone Gardens on Italy’s Amalfi Coast. Check out the list of the best places to propose around the world.
