Highland Light

Harwich Travel Guide Highland Light, also known as Cape Cod Light, is a historic lighthouse located in Harwich, Massachusetts. It was first established in 1797 and has since been a prominent landmark along the Cape Cod coast. The current structure, built in 1857, is the oldest and tallest lighthouse on Cape Cod, standing at 66 feet tall.

The lighthouse was originally built to aid ships navigating through the tricky waters of the Atlantic, and played a crucial role in guiding sailors safely along the coast. Over the years, it has become a popular tourist destination, drawing in visitors from all over the world. The stunning views from the top of the lighthouse and the surrounding walking trails make it a perfect spot for sightseeing and taking in the beauty of Cape Cod.

Highland Light holds immense historical significance, as it is one of the few lighthouses in the United States that still has an original Fresnel lens, which was used to magnify the light. This lens was responsible for guiding ships through the treacherous seas, and remains a testament to the advancements in maritime technology. During your visit, you can learn more about the history of the lighthouse and its keepers through the various exhibits and displays available on site. Don't miss the chance to take a tour of Highland Light and experience a piece of Cape Cod's rich maritime past.
