Maine Light Houses - East Quoddy Head Lighthouse Near Lubec Maine
 
OK, so East Quoddy Head Light House is not in Maine, heck it's not even in the United
States. This wonderful light house is on Campobello Island in New Brunswick, Canada.
But doesn't this light house look like it belongs in Maine? And the people of Lubec, Maine
and Campobello Island are very close and friendly even though they live in different
countries. The island and Lubec are linked by the Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR)
Memorial Bridge. And it is very easy to get from one side to the other, although security
restrictions have been added because of world events over the past couple of years. But
this light house is spectacular. This digital photo was taken from a clearing at the end of a
path just left of the parking area. Since the coasts of Maine and Campobello Island look
very similar, you would not question if this scene is in Maine unless you are familiar with
the region. I love the setting of this light house. While sitting at the foot of the light house, I
have seen schools of porpoises and whales and watched eagles fly overhead. A trip to
Campobello Island should be part of any northern Maine coastal vacation.
