Cape Neddick Nubble Lighthouse, Maine, United States

4.5 (1.733 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in York Lighthouses

Beautiful New England Lighthouse

This 41-foot lighthouse sits on the summit of Cape Neddick Nubble, a small offshore rocky islet overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. While the lighthouse and grounds aren't open to the public, you can view and snap a photo of it from Sohier Park on the mainland—there's even a small gift shop for souvenirs. Visit at sunrise or sunset for exceptionally stunning views. The holiday season is also a magical time to visit when the lighthouse is decorated with twinkling lights. Parking is free but limited, so get there early to secure a spot. Otherwise, you can also drop by on a tour of coastal Maine. – Tripadvisor

    Beautiful New England Lighthouse
    Beautifully restored and maintained lighthouse just north of York, Maine. Parking is very limited, but the view is stunning. Park gift shop is well stocked and reasonably priced. Local artist is sell prints for $10-$20...beautiful. Worth the stop.

    Comfort on the Coast
    We are lighthouse people and visit them whenever we can. We have been to this one before, but stopped again when in the area because we had to have our lighthouse fix (there is a small one in Ogunquit, but difficult to get close to with crowds and cars and no parking...needs to be seen on a walking tour). Always a pleasure to see it. There is a small shop/visitors' center but closed at this time of year. I just wish there were some sort of information or guide about the lighthouse (I don't remember it in the visitors' center either, just a shop). Many lighthouses have small museums or an informal guide. Considering this is one of the most famous in the world (the one that is pictured in the SETI spaceship which was sent into deep space with Beethoven's 9th, drawings of humans, etc., representing life on earth), it really deserves that.
