Very picturesque but closed due to COVID19. From the views outside, great view of the water. The day I went, it was pretty foggy. Would love to go back when the lighthouse is completely open. There is a little parking area and a spot across the street to look at the ocean.

This is a beautiful lighthouse and its great to be able to get right up to it. There are only a few parking spots, though. Across from the lighthouse is a beautiful view of Vineyard Sound.

Its a nice lighthouse. It was under construction when I went so I just saw it from the outside. Parking could be an issue, I had to drive by twice before a spot opened up. There are only 5 spots. Nice view of the sound with a private beach across the street. If you are in the area it is worth a drive by.

Iconic lighthouse, beautifully preserved and perched at the top of a cliff. Come in time for the sunset, there are about 6 parking spots and you can watch the sun go down across the street. Theres one bench where you can sit to watch the ocean also.

Love the scenery. We went to see the sunset and honestly it was breathtaking. You can see Martha’s Vineyard not far from there. It was a remarkable experience given I love Nature this experience did not disappoint me whatsoever.

Beautiful view. Definitely recommend a warm jacket. Great history. The light keepers house is under construction - I think that their just restoring/renovating it so it doesnt fall apart or something. Overall good trip. Cant wait to see inside the light keepers house when its renovated.

The entire woods’ hole is a beautiful area full of beautiful natural views of the southern tip of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and, the shore.The towns, their streets and houses are so beautiful. The entire area is a beautiful sight to behold.

The light house was great. its closed due to covid but the really view was across the street.

What a beautiful place to visit especially for photography and be sure to go across the street and check out the incredible view of the ocean. The boats are amazing to see sailing by. But upon visiting, due keep in mind that while the house is fenced off, you can walk up to the lighthouse itself. Also there is only 6 spots out front on a very narrow road. Worth the drive though.

If you are a lighthouse lover like I am, you will find this lighthouse along with its view, breathtaking! A must visit for lighthouse lovers!

Review №17

You drive down this residential road passing beautiful houses and then all of the sudden the trees and bushes clear to see this brilliantly blue water and a small beach before coming to the lighthouse. The spot across the street is so nice to watch the boats as they go by.

Nice lighthouse. Parking is very small and hard to get one. I suggest parking by the beach and walking there is possible.

Do not miss this site. Go at sunset. There is only a few parking spaces and go across the street at sunset to the memorial. Walk the tiny path...Im disabled and I did it...there is a rock and keep going may 20 ft total there is another rock with a memorial and a bench. I dont want to ruin the surprise. It was such a moment Ill never forget. If you are far away email me and Ill send pics of the memorial.

If you are a tourist to Cape cod than this is a must see location. Not only is the lighthouse truly unique in itself, but the view is breathtaking. Making this an ideal space to take pictures for postcards and such, of just scenic photos.

This is a nice lighthouse but still under construction. I cant wait to visit when it is available for tours and the visitor center is done. The road is curvy so be careful if you want to cross the street to walk on the trail to take pictures from below. You can see Marthas vineyard and watch the ferry go by fro here

Review №76

People kept saying its the second most photographed lighthouse in the world, but that cant be right, can it? It was pretty good but like, so are most lighthouses. Definitely go see it. But like, Ive seen more photogenic lighthouses.I guess now it seems like Im being critical of this lighthouse. If you hadnt heard anything about it before now, know that its a very good lighthouse! If you have heard of it before, just dont believe everything you hear, I guess.Also, dont ring the bell when youre there, people actually live in the lightkeepers house and its annoying to hear people ring it all the time.

Review №77

Beautiful setting and views! And walk across the road for better views of the water. No admittance to keepers house or light; limited parking. Contrary to S. Bucks post, this is *not* the lighthouse on Cape Cod Potato Chip bags. (Her photo is correct, but its not this lighthouse.)

Fantastic New England lighthouse to visit. It sits literally right on the side of the road, so it is easy to get to. There are a few parking spaces right at the light (perhaps room for 6 or 7cars), but you can park just before the light, where there is beach access and walk a short way to it. The grounds of the light itself are open, we are here in off season (during New Year week)) and were able to get up close, even though you cannot access the house. The view is spectacular and there is a trail to the beach directly across from the light. Well worth your time whether you are a lighthouse lover or just seeing the local sights. The town of Woods Hole is where you go, just near the ferry dock for Marthas Vineyard too....enjoy

A great Lighthouse with amazing views of the ocean. Can see Marthas Vineyardnard from the lighthouse. Amazing 360 degree views anytime of the day. Wish I could have made it for the sunset. The lighthouse was just repainted. Parking can be tight though during peak season.

Great little quaint place with history thats amazing. The house is also a great place to look and know about. The volunteers were cheerful and knew much information. We went on national lighthouse day so they had many exhibits, Morse code and ham radio. Very cool!
