Cape Neddick Lighthouse "Nubble Lighthouse" — Attraction in York

Living just down the road from (Cape Neddick/ Nubble Lighthouse) was an unforgettable experience. We visited countless times, and each visit felt unique. In every weather conditions there is something new and interesting to photograph or experience. Perched on a rocky island off the coast, it captures our favorite parts of coastal Maine— nostalgic lighthouses , rich history, and a deep connection with the ocean.

The cold waves crash against the rocks, the salty breeze fills the air, and seagulls float on the breeze. Sometimes he ocean was calm; other days you can understand why it's estimated over 2,000 ships sank off the coast of Maine.

Google Local Guide Tip:

Visit early to watch the sunrise from the ocean—it’s a breathtaking sight with fewer crowds. (Grab a coffee/lunch from a local spot and enjoy it from a bench overlooking the water)

Safety Note: The rocks can be slippery, and waves can get rough—watch your step and stay a safe distance...

The Nubble lighthouse9-6-25 This Nubble lighthouse is beautiful. The surrounding water and land that it sits on is just spectacular. This light house was built in 1897 and it looks like it was just put-up last week. It is in very good shape for its age. You cannot walk up to the Lighthouse as it sits on a small island. You get a very good view from the surrounding rocks. They do have some benches so you can sit and take in the views. This is a must see if you're into lighthouses you won't be sorry you did. There is a Welcome Center with restrooms plus a gift shop right near this and a fantastic Lobster restaurant called The Fox's Lobster House all within walking distance. The parking lot gets filled quickly and you may have to wait until someone leaves to get a spot but it's well worth it. I must give this Lighthouse a 5 out of 5 stars.
