Short Sands Beach
Considered to be the "most photographed" lighthouse, this 41-foot conical tower sits on the summit of Cape Neddick Bubble, a small offshore rocky islet, looking proudly over the Atlantic. During the Xmas holidays is beautifully decored and its sight is even more impressive. There is a free parking lot at Sohier Park, just in front of the island, but be aware, the weather is bitter cold. #MyBackyard
