About this Location

Nobska Light, originally called Nobsque Light, also known as Nobska Point Light is a lighthouse located near the division between Buzzards Bay, Nantucket Sound, and Vineyard Sound in the settlement of Woods Hole, Massachusetts on the southwestern tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It overlooks Martha’s Vineyard and Nonamesset Island. The light station was established in 1826, with the tower protruding above the keeper’s house, and was replaced in 1876 by the current 42-foot tall iron tower. The light station was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Nobska Point Light Station in 1987.
