Description:
Thoughts of the New England shoreline often conjure up visions of rocky outcrops, sandy beaches and grassy marshes. Other classic images gracing our region's coastline are the lighthouses which once kept sailors from navigating too close to shore.
Expert members of the American Lighthouse Foundation will narrate your tour.
Your tour will begin in Boston with passes by Long Island Head Light and Deer Island Light, and then a pass by Boston Light, the oldest lighthouse station in America. Heading north, the tour will pass by Graves Light, Hospital Point Light, Marblehead Light, Fort Pickering Light, Baker's Island Light, Eastern Point Light, Ten Pound Island Light, Straitsmouth Island Light and more. Your tour culminates with a view of Thacher Island, site of the only still operating twin lighthouses left in the country.
