We were lucky enough that our visit on a wet day coincided with the lighthouse being open and the four of us (mixed ages) thought enjoyed our visit. It was highly informative, unusual as we got to climb to the top and the volunteer team that showed us about were lovely. There was a toilet on site and a small exhibition. Special shout out to Ben - so charming and passionate about this place.

Barnstable county has the most lighthouses of any county in the country. Nobska is the prettiest of all. As you approach, drive slowly because the little parking lot comes up on you quickly. Look both ways and cross the street to sit on the bench and watch the gleaning white ships of the steamship Authority going to and from from the Vineyard. This is the quintessential lighthouse experience.

We visited here last week. The lighthouse is a fine building. We actually got inside for a quick look. It was late in the evening and the sun was setting. There was a lovely view. It's just off the road to the left when you are driving on the main road from Falmouth to Woods Hole. A proper signpost would help direct people there.

Built in 1876, Nobska stands on an elevated point to be seen far and wide. The Keepers House was also built in 1876 and originally had a covered walkway to the lighthouse. Slight changes have been made over the years.
