Cape Neddick (Nubble) Light
Cape Neddick Light
A classic lighthouse on a rocky islet off the town of York. Its red-roofed white keeper's house makes it a staple of Maine postcards, and it is strung with lights in winter.
Nubble Light was built in 1879 on a small rocky islet off Cape Neddick. It sits just across a narrow channel from the shore, so visitors cannot land on the island. The best place to view and photograph it is Sohier Park on the opposite shore, which also has a gift shop and parking. From Thanksgiving to New Year's, the lighthouse and keeper's house are draped in lights, and the night view is famous. Free to visit, about 75 km from Portland, and it can be paired with Ogunquit and York Beach on the same day.
