Watching the Nubble lighthouse from a distance, I felt like I was viewing a painting in real life.

The beauty of the setting was just perfect. The combination of the lighthouse sitting in the middle of the island, with the calm waters surrounding it made the captured photo something to treasure.

Without a doubt, this beacon of light is one of the most photographed and painted lighthouses on the North American continent.

In fact, the Nubble lighthouse is one of the most popular attractions in Maine, because it is a sight to behold whether from land or sea.

If you are planning on visiting this architectural wonder, know that there is limited parking and there are times the area gets crowded.

But it doesn't matter. The view of the Nubble lighthouse is worth the hassle.
