Lighthouses of Maine

Maine has more than 60 lighthouses marking its shoreline. West Quoddy Lighthouse, the eastern most lighthouse in the United States, marks the point where the sun first rises each day in this country. Cape Neddick Lighthouse, better known as "Nubble Light," and Portland Head Lighthouse are two of America’s best-known and most visited lighthouses. The majestic rocky coast of Maine provides a visual backdrop. The stories of the keepers and other inhabitants of the region make history come alive.
