Trip to Maine - Post #8: Cape Neddick Nubble Lighthouse

Our second full day in Maine took us on a lovely drive south of Portland to explore the southern coast of Maine. We stopped at several scenic areas, with our first stop at the Cape Neddick Nubble Lighthouse in York, Maine. Actually our plan was to spend a few hours at York Beach first, then see the light house, but when we drove by the beach we couldn't find any immediate parking so we decided to check out the lighthouse first and then come back to the beach.

It takes a boat to get to the lighthouse, but it is still close enough to get some good views. As with most of the coast of Maine, the shoreline is a lovely area of large rocks and crashing waves. A great spot to pull out a book and enjoy some quiet reading time, or just observe nature in its raw beauty! For geocachers, there's a cache near this lighthouse. I parked the car in the perfect spot, directly in front of the cache without even realizing it until pulling up the geocaching app on my phone. 

If you are in York to spend some time at the beach, check out the lighthouse. Don't worry, it won't take away much time from the beach and the views are well worth the visit!
