    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!

      A great view of Nobska Light, Vineyard Sound and Martha’s Vineyard. Ride Church St, Nobska Rd and Oyster Ponds Road for a good alternative to the Shining Sea Trail. It’s curvy, hilly and a popular bike route. It does not have bike lanes but drivers are generally courteous.
