Lubec is just downright fun. It has a very inviting Main Street with a feeling that there's a lot going on, despite the fact that much of the town had closed down for the season. Still, there was lots to see and do.

Located a little more than an hour north of Bar Harbor, it is the easternmost municipality (whereas nearby Eastport is the easternmost city) in the continental U.S. As you enter the town, in front of you is the Franklin D. Roosevelt Bridge which connects the U.S. to New Brunswick, Canada. Lubec is located on the Passamaquoddy Peninsula, surounded by Johnson Bay and the Quoddy Narrows. Not too far out is the Bay of Fundy, and Lubec tides witness the extreme changes between low and high tides.

There's a lot more to be said for this little town of some 1400 people, but the real charmer is its lighthouse.

There's more than one in the area, actually, but the really cool one is Quoddy Head. Even the name is fun. Quoddy Head State Park, where the lighthouse is stationed, is the easternmost point of land in the U.S., a little more to the east than Lubec itself. As you view the images of Quoddy Light, you'll see what makes it so special.
