Wood End Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse located in Provincetown, Massachusetts. It was first built in 1872 and rebuilt in 1894 due to erosion caused by the ocean. The lighthouse is located at the northernmost point of Cape Cod and serves as a guide for ships entering Provincetown Harbor. The lighthouse is a wooden structure with a square tower that stands 47 feet tall. It is painted white with red accents and has a distinctive black lantern room. The light is visible for 17 nautical miles and is operated by the U.S. Coast Guard. Wood End Lighthouse played an important role in maritime history, guiding ships through the treacherous waters off the coast of Cape Cod. It was eventually automated in 1981 and is no longer staffed by a keeper. Today, the lighthouse is a popular tourist attraction and is open to the public for tours during the summer months. Visitors can climb to the top of the tower for panoramic views of the surrounding area and learn about the history of the lighthouse and its importance to the local community.
