    		According to Answers.com West Quoddy Head on Lubec, Maine is the easternmost spot on the US coast. In addition, the final episode of the Food Network's Great Foodtruck Race competition ended at West Quoddy Head on a program aired on September 30, 2012 and mentioned that the location was the easternmost point in the US.

    		They even have a huge blow out New Years Day celebration in West Quoddy every year. That is the place in the US where you can see the first rays of light of the first sun of the new year as it rises in the east.

    		Definitely West Quoddy Head, Maine.
    Alaska is often cited as being Easternmost as well as Westernmost, (Pochnoi Point is 179°46?23?E) but Pochnoi Point is on Semisopochnoi Island and not on the mainland.
