West Quoddy Head Lighthouse — Attraction in Lubec

Wow, what a stunning place! The lighthouse itself is pretty unique and cool, but the best part of the park was the rocky beach below! If you follow the path south of the lighthouse, you'll find a staircase that takes you down to the beach. I spent at least an hour there by myself, just walking the shoreline and basking in the peaceful view. But if you're gonna climb up those big rocks on the shore, beware: the waves get pretty high and the sea is treacherous- I definitely thought Poseidon himself might be trying to whisk me off into the depths of his kingdom, haha! The park charges a $4 entrance fee and there is a cashbox where you leave your contribution (not attended; it is attached to the welcome sign/map/info area, very easy to miss if you're not paying attention). The park also features a bog, which I thought was really cool. Make sure you wear appropriate...

Visiting the lighthouse furthest east on the United States eastern seaboard was a delight, even if the most intense fog rolled in to spoil my pics of it. The bizarre, yet most interesting, things about it are that you can literally AirBNB here and it costs money to tour it. While no park rangers were around, much of the trek back didn't seem to bad. Lots of windy roads and scenic desolation to get there, but once there, the scene is beautiful. Tranquility as a place. There was a family there staying and I think we kind of scared them a little, as they rushed to get into the house while we were approaching. The parking area is dirt and gravel, and the hill down is a subtle grade, but once there, the view could be spectacular. Head out to the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse and discover what I mean! Then head into Lubec for some delightful seafood at the...

The town is a very quiet town. The main attraction (probably the only attraction), is the west quoddy head lighthouse. The views are spectacular, for sunrise and sunset right in front of the lighthouse. Even on the off season people still go and see it but other than the lighthouse the towns a ghost town, at least off season. The fisherman's wharf is one of the very few restaurants in town and it's a hit or a miss when they are open. They also have a hotel as well called the inn on the wharf. We were only there a few days but the owners seemed nice from what we saw.

Lubec is hours away from most people, a long drive but seeing the lighthouse is worth it. Even though the town doesn't maintain it well (it needs painting), it's still a stunning lighthouse with amazing views and photo opportunities.

Overall, 5 stars. One of my...
