Lubec Maine

Beautiful Maine!! Lubec is the eastern most town in the US on the Bay of Fundy. There are bumper stickers that say “The real Maine starts east of Ellsworth” We understood the saying as we worked our way up the coast. The crowds went away, the weather cooled off and the pace slowed considerably.

We had a view of Johnson Bay from our campsite.

  

Mullholland Point Lighthouse. This lighthouse was across the river on the Canadian island of Campobello. Yes, that’s how close Canada is to Lubec Maine.

Low tide…there’s a 24 foot tide in the area of the Bay of Fundy. It was amazing to us to watch these huge tide differences. We also experienced lots of Maine fog!!

We enjoyed several town events in Lubec.

Kayaking at Indian Lake was a favorite way to spend time while in Maine. Yes, we went to a lake to kayak so we didn’t have to take into account where the tides were!

High tide…

All the stories about Maine fog rolling in are true. Temperatures would drop 20 deg and visibility would go to almost nothing in a matter of minutes. We learned to keep a fleece in the car all the time just in case.

West Quoddy Lighthouse is the eastern most lighthouse in the US. We hiked all the trails around the lighthouse…several times!! It has such beautiful views…in bright sunshine and fog!!

The views along the shore were breathtaking. Lots of photographers and painters all around.

Fog rolling in.

  1. Lubec looks very pretty. I didn’t realize it was all the way at the east end of Maine. Crazy tides though!
