The Nobska Point Lighthouse was first constructed in 1828. The 40-foot tall cast iron lighthouse on the green hill that still stands today was built in 1876 and is an iconic part of the Falmouth coastline. Although it is no longer a working lighthouse, you can still visit the site and explore the lighthouse for free. There is a museum and guided tours during the summer season. This beautiful lighthouse is well-worth a visit; even if the lighthouse wasn't there, Nobska Point offers stunning views across Falmouth and over the bright blue waters of the Vineyard Sound. On most days you can actually see all the way to Martha's Vineyard!

The lighthouse is very prominent when coming in and out of Wood's hole on the ferry. There is a beach near by the lighthouse and a little park across the street with a nice view
