    Wood End Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse in the southwest of the Long Point Peninsula. It serves as a navigational aid for ships approaching Provincetown Harbor. The lighthouse has been in operation since 1872 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. The American Lighthouse Foundation takes care of the complex maintenance of all three lighthouses: Long Point Light, Wood End Light and Race Point Light on the Long Point Peninsula. lighthousefoundation.org/lighthouses/wood-end-light

      The Wood End Light Watchtower stands alone among the dunes with no other manmade structure in sight. This isolated structure was first lit in 1872 to help guide sailors through the wood end bar (a dangerous sandbar near the light-tower, hence its name) to Provincetown. This beautiful spot is a fantastic place to take photographs of Wood End Lighthouse and the surrounding beach, relax in the sand, and enjoy a part of Cape Cod history.
