Lubec is home to the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse at the easternmost point of land in the U.S. Whales, porpoises, eagles, osprey, moose and bear inhabit the region. Beach roses, wild iris, and beach peas line the pristine shoreline. You will find sand beaches, bold coastal cliffs, coastal rain forest, and wildflower meadows here. Three state parks, a national park, national wildlife refuge, and several nature preserves all provide a variety of hiking trails. Local whale and puffin tours offer the chance to observe nature up close. Learn about local culture and ecology on the shoreline and history tours. The area is rich in history—the first naval battle of the Revolution was fought in nearby Machiasport. Maine's own 'Cannery Row' lined the waterfronts of Lubec and Eastport with sardine canning factories and herring smoke houses. You'll find it all here—rich history, spectacular scenery, abundant wildlife, and friendly people. You won't find pollution, crowds, or traffic jams.
