The State of Maine includes 3,500 miles of indescribably beautiful coastline, comprised of bays, coves and similar indentations.  Over 60 lighthouses dot the craggy shore including the Portland Head Light, which was commissioned by George Washington.  Wreck diving (many accessible from shore) is available at many locations.  Check your tide tables and enjoy!<br><br>We would like to thank the kind assistance of Mike Bridges for helping us prepare this section for Maine. He and his wife provided guided shore diving tours in Maine for many years, but have since moved to the warmer climate of Panama City, Florida where he continues to shore dive and teach classes

Nubble Light is a very picturesque location that offers easy access to some fine diving.  Established in 1879, Nubble Light is off limits to visitors, but you can still get a good view of it from the park.

Located next to York Village, in Cape Neddick.  From Route 1A in Cape Neddick (S. Main Street), follow Nubble Rd for about 1 mile.  Turn left into Sohler Park.
