Here is Nubble Lighthouse also known as the Cape Neddick Lighthouse located just across from the area at Sohier Park in York, Maine. Of the many lighthouses we'd come across in many states this in our opinion is one of those extroadinarily situated lighthouses with the aesthetics to match! Today the lighthouse is maintained by the Town of York but it was once in the hands of the US Coast Guard. Standing at a height of 41 feet the tower and the adjoining house is a thrill to view from across the waters. |

At the point from which we stood there is space for one to park one's car and walk about as many of us had. There were plenty of folks admiring this view and photographing it with glee. Actually, we didn't want to leave since it was such a sight! |
Along our way we'd passed a very long stretch of beach which we can only suppose is either Long Beach or York Beach. Regardless this is yet another of those many spots which we plan to spend more time at in the future. The photo there to the right was taken from the parking area itself.
