Lubec, Coastal town in Down East, United States.
Located at the easternmost point of the contiguous United States, Lubec extends across 78 square miles of land and water along the Atlantic coast.
Founded in 1811 and named after Lübeck in Germany, the town developed through maritime industries with nine sawmills, three gristmills, and two shipyards by 1886.
The West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, constructed in 1858, stands as a symbol of maritime heritage and continues guiding vessels through the Bay of Fundy.
The Bay of Fundy International Marathon connects Lubec to Campobello Island, with runners starting their journey at the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse.
The town experiences extreme tidal changes reaching 28 feet twice daily, creating a constant rhythm that shapes the daily activities of local fishing communities.
