Nubble Lighthouse
Maine
> b. Southern Coast
Description
This collection of seaside boulders is only enjoyable during low tide. Many enjoyable problems exist here, but watch out for the wet, slippery and sometimes treacherous landings. Most of the topouts are low (10ft-ish) and solid.
If you have never been to Nubble and live anywhere near there, if can be an enjoyable escape from Pawtuckaway bugs and the Pawtuckaway approach.
Getting There
Drive along Route 1 north from NH, enter Maine, pass Long Sands beach and you will see the lighthouse on the oceanside. Take a smal side street east and park in the lighthouse parking area. This is apopular tourist spot.
The bouldering exists below the level of the parking lot; just walk towards the sea.
[Hide Photo] Unknown boulder problem at Nubble. Anyone know what it is?
[Hide Photo] Tyler climbing at Nubble Lighthouse. The scenery might be better than the rock.
[Hide Photo] This is the face along the right side of the parking lot closest to the lighthouse. Im not sure which boulder it is but there are problems on it. Anyone know what they are???
[Hide Photo] This is that same face but this photo is just to the right of the previous photo. A much easier climb, still not sure what it is.

ACCESS NOTE: I was just at the parking lot boulders. The hueco and wave boulders are farther up the coast past where some jackass has spray painted "PRIVATE" on the rocks. I would have gone up there to check them out but a wedding was going on and I didn't want to be a dick by getting in the background of all their photos. Jun 9, 2013

caesar.salad, The owner of the cottages that run along the North Shore Area owns up to the high water mark. If you travel between the high tide mark and the water you should be okay, they probably will yell at you but as far as I know they don't have any legal right to. Most of the boulders are in the surf zone anyways. Jun 28, 2013
