Moon Over Maine for Dinner at York Beach

Moon over Nubble Lighthouse at York Beach, Maine


Article and photo by Eric Hurwitz -- created for VisitingNewEngland.com on 5/21.2024 @newenglandinfo

Our enjoyable day at York Beach, Maine, now reflected in the rear view mirror.

As early evening approached, my wife (Joan) and I shared thoughts on how to extend the waning moments of a day trip before heading home to "civilization." Or, was it that we were about to leave "civilization" in beautiful Maine?

We ultimately decided to dine at the Sun and Surf Restaurant, a terrific dining out spot specializing in fresh seafood, as well as offering an idyllic location with stunning, close-up ocean views. While waiting for our dinners, Joan looked out over the sea to take in the most spectacular sight: a full moon rising alongside Long Sands Beach and Nubble Lighthouse.

With both of us awestruck by Mother Nature's majestic expression, Joan suggested I take a few pictures to capture the quickly changing scene that, quite frankly, never quite looked this way at home. I respectfully jostled for position with a few other camera enthusiasts at the edge of the outside dining patio to come up with several good captures. I think the one posted here came out best, so I thought I'd share it with you.

It's hard to top a day taking in all the summer glories of a Maine beach town with the sand, surf, rocky coast, amusements, homemade ice cream and salt water taffy. In this case, however, the end of the day brought a new beginning of travel memories, thus validating that it's not the time one spends vacationing but what's in the moment. Living in the present indeed brings the greatest joys.
