The Cape Neddick Nubble Lighthouse was built in 1837 on Nubble Island, a steep and rocky little island less than 100 yards off Cape Neddick Point. The lighthouse tower is brick-lined and enclosed in cast iron sheet. It is 41 feet tall and the light is 88 feet above sea level.

The railing stanchions of the walkway circling the lantern room are adorned with four-inch replicas of the lighthouse, an interesting feature not seen anywhere else. The lighthouse is not accessible to visitors, but the area around it is popular for fishing and scuba diving. On the mainland off Nubble Island is Sohier Park, which has a gift shop offering lighthouse-themed souvenirs and a telescope that visitors can use to take a better look at the lighthouse.
