Standing at the tip of Long Point in Provincetown, Massachusetts, Long Point Light has guided mariners since 1875. This compact wooden lighthouse marks the entrance to Provincetown Harbor, accessible only by boat or a challenging 1.5-mile walk across the breakwater at low tide.

The lighthouse remains an active aid to navigation, its white tower and distinctive brown band unmistakable against Cape Cod’s sandy shores. Though closed to public climbing, Long Point Light offers exceptional photography opportunities, particularly during golden hour when the setting sun illuminates the harbor behind it.

Visitors can combine a lighthouse excursion with exploring Provincetown’s vibrant art galleries, whale watching tours, and the iconic Pilgrim Monument—all within easy reach of this historic beacon.
