Wood End Light stands at the end of a narrow, sandy peninsula that juts into Cape Cod Bay, guiding mariners into Provincetown Harbor. Visitors reach the lighthouse via a scenic hike through the Province Lands dunes, where shifting sands and salt-spray vegetation create a wild, windswept landscape. The lighthouse itself is a classic brick tower with a lantern room, offering panoramic views of the harbor and the open Atlantic. It's a quiet, remote spot perfect for photography, birdwatching, and experiencing the raw coastal beauty of the Outer Cape.
Don't miss
