Stephen-KarenConn Says: The West Quoddy Head Light, which stands on the easternmost point of land in the continental United States, reminds me of a Christmas peppermint candy cane with it's distinctive horizontal red and white stripes. It is the only candy-striped lighthouse in the U.S.A. The first...
Stephen-KarenConn Says: Quoddy Head State Park encompasses 540 acres on the tip of a peninsula which juts into the North Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy. This is the easternmost point of land in the continental United States.Karen and I savored the few hours we spent there,...
Stephen-KarenConn Says: The Lubec Channel Light, erected in 1890, is and is also affectionately known to locals as the "Sparkplug." It's one of three surviving sparkplug style cast-iron lighthouses in Maine.The channel light was built in 1889 in "The Narrows" between Lubec and Campobello Island,...
sue&gene Says: The Lubec Channel Light (also called the Spark Plug) guards the channel leading to Lubec, Maine. IT can be viewed at a distance from the land or closer up from a boat. It was almost abandonded a few years ago but has been restored and is still a working lighthouse.
Hike at West Quoddy State Park
sue&gene Says: The park has four-and-one-half miles of hiking trails. They include beautiful views of the shore line, a close-up look at the forests and a board walk through a bog.
Drive to the West Quoddy Head Light
sue&gene Says: Just a little south of Lubec is the West Quoddy Head Light. It is on the eastern-most point in the United States. The present lighthouse was build in 1858 and its light still shines through its original third-order Fresnes lens. The light is still monitored and serviced by...

Calais Motor Inn: Calais Maine Best Stay
DrRodder Says: with onsite resturant, good food, clean rooms and very fair prices, this place has the most for the money. Just don't expect a 5 star resort. I gave it high marks based on the options in the general area. AAA Approved, NEWLY REMODELED RESTAURANT, MEETING & BANQUET...
We were in Lubec at noon on a Sunday and choose to stop at Uncle Kippy's. We ate lunch along with several locals on their way home from church. The food was good and the servings were generous. I ordered a special from a luncheon menu .... there was a wide choice of specials.
Favorite Dish: I ate some broiled crab cakes that were very tasty. My husband had a seafood plate and found the servings most generous.

Helpfulness
West Quoddy Gifts, a small locally owned and operated gift shop, is the only one we saw in the vicinity of the East Quoddy Head Lighthouse. It is not in a business district but adjacent to the shop owner's house in a residential area, on the road that leads from Lubec to the lighthouse. It is about one mile from the entrance to Quoddy Head State Park.
The 480-square-foot shop is open year round and they also do a mail order business. They offer a good selection of unique local crafts, their own design of T-shirts and sweatshirts, plus lots of souvenir items. We bought a couple of keepsakes for our collections and enjoyed doing business with the friendly folks.

sue&gene Says: This was my first time to visit a bog. This one is a part of the hiking trails of Quoddy Head State Park. You will have to hike about a quarter of a mile on the Inland Trail to arrive at the bog. There is a boardwalk through the bog with nice interpretive signs. We visited...
sue&gene Says: We visited West Quoddy State Park in early June and found it to be a nice time to visit because many of the plants were in bloom. The West Quoddy Head Bog is a part of the hiking trails of the park. The park map gives easy directiions to get to it. One of the plants I found...
Take the Bridge to New Brunswick, Canada
Stephen-KarenConn Says: Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada, is just east of Lubec, Maine USA. The only way to get to Campobello by land is across the Franklin D. Roosevelt International Bridge. If you were to travel to Campobello Island from Canada you would have to either fly or take two...
Walk through an "enchanted" forest
sue&gene Says: As we hiked the trails at Quoddy Head State Park we came to an unusual (to me) forest. It seemed almost "enchanted". The trees were all the light colored (we think birches) and covered with a type of moss. With the sun filtering through .....
Favorite thing: Too many to list....
Fondest memory: Slow down...Hear the ocean on the shoreline, smell the salt in the air, view raucous seagulls, with eagles soaring overheard, lobster boats bobbing, panoramic vistas, lighthouses, and homemade ice cream within walking distance of a freshly made plum bonbon.

While working in Calais, ME., I stopped out to one of the eastern most point of the main land, Lebec, ME. I took some photos of the sunset looking back northwest. There are no major chains of any...
The easternmost town in the US is a quaint village with a charming port area. A beautiful location with several pleasant B&Bs in the area (see B&B guide on this page!)
