Wood End Light, Navigational lighthouse in Provincetown, United States
The Wood End Light structure features a square pyramidal tower with white markings and a black lantern, positioned at the southwest end of Long Point.
Constructed in 1864, this maritime beacon has directed vessels through the waters of Cape Cod Bay for more than 150 years of continuous operation.
