Nobska Lighthouse

Originally called Nobsque Light, the now known Nobska Light, sits on the southwestern tip of Cape Cod. It’s between Buzzards Bay, Nantucket Sound, and Vineyard Sound in a place called Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Not far from the lighthouse is a small beach called Nobska Light Beach, where the blue-green water rolls onto the shore and endlessly stretches out to sea.

Nobska Lighthouse was constructed in 1829 and was the first light on Nobska Point. In 1888 the lighthouse followed technological trends and was upgraded to a fourth-order Fresnel Lens. This lens still sits in the lightroom of the lighthouse today and can be seen while touring the tower.
