September 15, 2021 Franklyn Hardiman

From quaint town shops and quiet beaches, to honky tonk arcades and carousels, the York area is guaranteed to entertain the whole family. Old York, run by the local historical society, contains nine different restored buildings, including "The Old Gaol," the oldest jail in America. The beautiful coastline provides cliff walks with views of an authentic Maine lighthouse. Head to nearby York Beach and visit York's Wild Kingdom, an amusement park and zoo that is home to Rewa, a White Bengal tiger.

Nubble is one of Maine most famous lighthouses and for good reason. 1) Its one of the first places you come across as you drive into Maine. 2) Free and abundant parking 3) Cute visitors center/ gift shop 4) Amazing views on the left and right sides of the lighthouse 5) Huge rocks to carefully walk on 6) Great resturant (fox's) and ice cream shop (Dunne's) right next door! A Must!
