Monomoy Point Light, Historic lighthouse in Barnstable County, United States
The 14-meter cylindrical tower made of cast iron features red markings and stands against the coastal landscape of Massachusetts.
Established in 1823 with a wooden tower, the current structure was built in 1849 and operated until deactivation in 1923 after Cape Cod Canal opened.
The lighthouse represents early maritime navigation technology and stands as a testament to coastal engineering methods of the 19th century.
Visitors can access the lighthouse through guided tours, with the keeper's house now functioning as a guest accommodation facility.
The structure contains one of the earliest cast iron towers in the United States and maintains its original fourth-order Fresnel lens.
