Review & FAQ:

Located in Ocean View Drive, Eastham, the lighthouses known as The Three Sisters were restored to their former glory in 1989. Named the Three Sisters due to their ladylike appearances of wearing white dresses and black bonnets, they were created as a threesome because Cape Cod had one lighthouse and Chatham had two. The Three Sisters were to provide light halfway along the eastern coastline of Cape Cod with their distinguishing 3 lights. The original lighthouses were initially built in 1837, but they fell into the sea in 1890 due to erosion. Today the Three Sisters sit 1,800 feet west of Nauset Light. Guided tours are available of the lighthouses that are a National Historical treasure.
