Nubble Lighthouse, York, Maine with a Wheelchair or Mobility Scooter

Cape Neddick Light, better known as Nubble Lighthouse, sits on a tiny island just off the point at Sohier Park in York, Maine. It is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the country, and the good news is that the best view is from the park itself, close to the parking area.

Getting to the view

Sohier Park has a parking lot right at the point and the lighthouse is directly across a narrow channel. From the lot, it is a short trip to the viewing area. A transport chair or a Pride GoGo travel scooter makes it easy for someone who cannot walk far to get right up to the railing.

Timing your visit

• Parking is limited and fills on summer and fall weekends. Go early morning or later in the afternoon.
• The point is exposed and windy. Bring a jacket even on nice days.
• Around the holidays the lighthouse is lit up, which is a lovely evening stop.
