Review:
Under the care and ownership of the city of Rockland, the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse is a lovely place to visit when traveling through Rockland. The lighthouse is located at the tail end of a near-mile-long breakwater. Built to keep watch over the Rockland breakwater, the lighthouse was built in 1985 to prevent ships from crashing the protective barrier. Visitors are welcome to visit the lighthouse, which features Colonial Revival architecture, but ought to take caution as it will require traversing granite blocks that get quite slippery when they are wet. Guests should also bear in mind that there is no running water nor a bathroom at the facility, and as such should plan ahead. Apart from this, however, the lighthouse provides a spectacular view of the water and is a one-of-a-kind experience.
