Perched on a bluff in Eastham, the Nauset Lighthouse is one of Cape Cod’s most recognizable landmarks. The white tower with its red top was built in 1877 and moved back from the eroding cliff edge in 1996 to save it from the sea. It sits within Cape Cod National Seashore, surrounded by dunes, grassy paths, and wide Atlantic views. The light is also familiar from the Cape Cod potato chip bag, a fun detail for visitors who recognize it on sight.
