Egg Rock Light, Coastal lighthouse in Essex County, United States.
The lighthouse features a 40-foot brick tower with a combined keeper's dwelling, positioned on a rocky islet in Massachusetts Bay.
The Egg Rock Light began guiding vessels in 1856, marking the entrance to Nahant Bay and Salem Sound for maritime traffic.
The lighthouse served as a permanent residence for keepers and their families until 1976, when automated systems replaced human operations.
Visitors can observe the lighthouse from several coastal points in Lynn and Nahant, with boats providing additional viewing opportunities.
The structure contains a fog signal system that produces two distinct sound blasts every thirty seconds during limited visibility conditions.
