Introducing Lubec
Perched upon a hill overlooking four lighthouses and Canada, this small fishing village makes its living off the trans-border traffic and a bit of tourism. Away from the crowds and traffic of Acadia National Park and surrounds, this is the real Downeast Maine. There’s an informal information office in the foyer of the Eastland Motel, on the left-hand side of ME 189 as you roll into town.

Off US 1 at the end of ME 189, Lubec is sited on America’s easternmost border with Canada, 60 miles south of Calais and 88 miles northeast of Mt Desert Island.
