Beautiful lighthouse and area. One of the most famous ever. The drive to Nubble was fun and picturesque. Loved driving through the village to get to it. Stunning views all around. My son loved climbing the large rocks down by the shore. Parking was a little tricky as there were no spaces available when we arrived so we drove around the lot until one became available. Lots of incredible photo ops here. A quick storm blew in five minutes after we arrived and cooled down the area quickly which was great. A truly beautiful place to see. Highly recommend.

Such an awesome lighthouse! Classic New England shoreline, the light still works as well which is nice. I know some of these are not still in use, but it’s nice to see something used for its purpose. Can be a bit chilly though, even on nice days, that nippy ocean breeze will get you every time.

What a beautiful lighthouse this is. You can’t actually go over to this one or in it (I believe it’s a private residence), but it has some absolutely stunning scenery all around it. The park across from it gives you several different angles and ways to photograph this lighthouse. Definitely worth a stop to see it.

One of the most beautiful and best kept secret lighthouses in all of Maine. As a professional photographer, it has been my life goal to come to Nubble Lighthouse and capture the sunrise. I fell in love with this place and decided come here every year for my family vacation.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Can a person's ashes be scattered at nubble light in York Maine

Karen Tholander | Apr 16, 2021
C.M. Jones | Apr 17, 2021

I know it's done frequently. I'm also sure you would be told no. If it was a very small scattering, personally I would feel that would be fine. We're talking a small amount not an entire urn full.

The actual lighthouse is not open to public but the park gives you an unobstructed view at many angles. Great place to paint or photograph. I enjoy just sitting on the rocks listening to the waves

Kimberly Mulcahy | Apr 18, 2019

Hi, the do the lighting and the festivities on Saturday after Thanksgiving which is tomorrow. It gets packed fast and the police monitor the parking so either you need to get there early or get dropped off. It would make it easier for you. It is beautiful, they have carolers and Santa comes down on the fire engine. Put you in the festive mood. Have fun

Is donating to Nubble Lighthouse (as part of the town of York, which seems to be in charge of the long-term endowment) a 501(c)3 organization, and therefore deductible for purposes of federal income taxes?

A Google User | Apr 17, 2019
York Recreation (York Parks and Recreation) | Apr 18, 2019

While we are not a 501c3.....yes, your donations are tax deductible. Also the lighthouse is owned by and run by the town of York, not a separate organization. No tax dollars go into the maintenance and upkeep of the island or park. The Gift Shop sales and all donations keep the lighthouse in order. Thanks for the support.
