Libby Island Light

Libby Island Light stands at the east entrance to Machias Bay, scene of the American Revolution's first naval battle.

Libby Island is actually two islands connected by a sandbar. An earlier wooden lighthouse may have been erected as early as 1817. The lighthouse today is owned by the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service.

The lighthouse can be seen distantly from the mainland but is best viewed by private boat.
