Tour Cape Cod Lighthouses -- Stay Centrally at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa

Saviors of fishermen, sailors, and whalers, the lighthouses of Cape Cod

guided ships to safety. When planning your vacation, be sure to include the beautiful lighthouses of Cape Cod. The Northern end of the Cape was once spotted with 9 different lighthouses.

A 10 minute drive from the Inn will bring you to Nauset Light. This lighthouse has a red painted top to distinguish it from Chatham and Highland Light.

Continuing towards Nauset High School you will pass the Three Sisters Lighthouses. These three lighthouses were acquired by the National Parks Services, and were moved to their present sight in 1983. Restoration began in 1988. Work was completed in 1989 and they sit 150 feet apart in their original configuration.

Over on the Bay side of Cape Cod, there once stood the Billingsgate Light. Due to erosion that lighthouse no longer exists, but the shoal where it once stood offers great fishing. The Mayo Beach Light has been moved to California, but the foundation still exists at a private home in Wellfleet. There was also the Pamet Light at Snow's Beach, but nothing of it exists today. There isn't even a picture of it.

Traveling up Route 6 in Truro is the Highland Light. Tours are offered daily. The climb up offers amazing views of the Atlantic. It is part of the National Seashore and is an active light in aiding navigation. (Around it sits the first links golf course. Not only do you play golf, but you enjoy many wondrous vistas of the lighthouse and the ocean.)

Following along Route 6, you come next to Race Point Light. This lighthouse is actively used for navigation. The keeper's house and the whistle house have been restored and are available for overnight stays.

Wood End Light is built at the elbow of the sandbar in Provincetown. This lighthouse is fully automated by solar panels and batteries.

Long Point Light is situated at the very tip of Provincetown. The lighthouse works on solar power and the outlying buildings have all been taken down. This light also remains very active in navigation.

There are many great sights where you can plan your own lighthouse tour. So book your room today -- and stay mid-week in September for three nights and check to see which rooms are available for the $40 off per night.
