Latitude: 42.02121 Longitude: -70.19348 For a larger map of Wood End Lighthouse, click the lighthouse in the above map or get a map from: Mapquest. Travel Instructions: You can view this lighthouse from Commercial Street in Provincetown at the foot of the breakwater, which leads to the lighthouse, but the views are distant. To reach the lighthouse, you can walk the 1/2 mile breakwater, and then trudge another 1/2 mile through sand. Another option would be to rent a kayak and paddle to the light, but a hike through the sand is still required. Flyer's Boat Rental offers kayak rentals and also a shuttle to Long Point Lighthouse, which is 1.5 miles from Wood End Lighthouse. The lighthouse is owned by the Coast Guard but maintained by the American Lighthouse Foundation. Grounds open, tower closed.

We took a shuttle out to Long Point, and then walked to the Wood End Light. The distance between the lights is just 1.5 miles, but trudging through soft sand in 98 degree heat and high humidity can take its toll. On the return trip to Long Point to meet the shuttle, frequent stops were necessary as was a dip in the water to try to cool ourselves. Try not to make the hike on the hottest day of the summer if at all possible. See our List of Lighthouses in Massachusetts |
