Perspective

Perspective is relative… West Quoddy Light House at Quoddy Head, Maine.

West Quoddy Head Lighthouse is located at the easternmost point of the continental United States. When you see this lighthouse, you can easily getting the feeling that perspective is all relative. One also understands that time is relative there as well… It’s an absolute gorgeous place to watch the first sunrise in the country, which takes place roughly one hour before the rest of the east coast, as West Quoddy Lighthouse is technically in the Atlantic Time Zone.

West Quoddy Lighthouse is part of Quoddy Head State Park. The first tower built in 1808 by orders from President Thomas Jefferson. The current lighthouse tower that stands was built in 1858. Quoddy Head State Park is comprised of 541 protected coastal acres with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and Grand Manan Island in the Bay of Fundy. A visit to Quoddy Lighthouse is a must see if you are traveling along Maine’s Bold Coast.
