Review & FAQ:

Long Point Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse located on Cape National Seashore. Built in 1875, it is maintained by the American Lighthouse Foundation which is also the caretaker for Cape’s Wood End Lighthouse and Race Point Lighthouse. Standing at a height of 38 feet, the Long Point Lighthouse is a square structure rather than the usual cylindrical shape of a typical lighthouse. Automated in 1952, it emits a green light every four seconds; it also has a foghorn that emits a blast every 15 seconds. Although the lighthouse is not open to the public, the grounds are a part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, so visitors are permitted to walk around the area.
