  • Beautiful iconic lighthouse. I combined seeing this lighthouse with a walk down the Sconset Bluff Walk. Walking the bluff to the lighthouse was maybe 2 miles, pretty easy flat enjoyable walk. Note...

  • We biked out to Sconset per the Polpis Road bike path and saw this lighthouse from the road overlooking the golf course, and it was majestic from that viewpoint. As we left Sconset, we biked down...

  • Beautiful views and easy to access. The lighthouse is a short walk away from parking. I highly recommend waiting for sunset or making the early morning trip for sunrises. Well worth the effort! Highly recommend visiting.
  • Beautiful lighthouse in Nantucket Island, accessible small parking lot short walk from parking. You can take spectacular photos they should have a gift shop for the visitors. Lighthouses lovers will love to buy souvenirs.
  • A beautiful lighthouse (I actually think the best one of the three on the island). The views are stunning and the sea air invigorating. Worth the drive out and you will not want to go back to the hotel. (Caution though restroom access in the area if basically non-existent).
  • Nice lighthouse with a good view on the east side of Nantucket but you have to get permission from the historical society to go in.
  • Short sandy walk, educational plaques. Even though light house is under refurbishment it was terrific!
