Standing guard at America’s easternmost point since 1890, Lubec Channel Light marks the narrow passage between Lubec, Maine, and Campobello Island, New Brunswick. This compact white sparkplug-style lighthouse remains an active aid to navigation, guiding vessels through the swift tidal currents of the Lubec Narrows.

The lighthouse is not open to public access, but photographers can capture excellent shots from the Lubec waterfront, particularly at sunrise when the light catches the first rays to reach the continental United States. Golden hour offers dramatic reflections on the channel waters.

Nearby attractions include the Roosevelt Campobello International Park, West Quoddy Head Light (Maine’s iconic candy-striped beacon), and the charming downtown Lubec with its galleries and seafood restaurants.
