The Nantucket Cliff Range Lights, built in 1889, are a historic pair of range lights located on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. These wooden structures originally guided mariners safely into Nantucket Harbor by aligning the front and rear lights. Still active today, they represent a classic example of 19th-century maritime navigation technology.

The lights are notable for their unusual wooden construction and their role in Nantucket’s rich seafaring heritage. While the site is not open to public climbing, visitors can view and photograph the structures from nearby roads. Golden hour offers the best lighting conditions for photography.

Nearby attractions include Nantucket’s cobblestone downtown, the Whaling Museum, and pristine beaches along the island’s scenic coastline.
