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.
