Now that it's winter, New England doesn't do the lighthouse justice. During the summer it's a great spot to take family, friends, your dog or yourself to see the sunrise and sunsets. The jetties are in good standing and it's a fun spot to fish as well.
So beautiful, a must go in Scituate, I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself for missing it! Just a wonderful place for families.
Such a beauty. Right along the water. It was so tall and pretty. Made a great back drop for pictures. Really a nice place to visit.
Scituate lighthouse is worth a stop on any trip on the south shore, especially if you have kids. Most important you don't need a sticker to park. The lighthouse is impressive, the view can be breathtaking . The new breakwater is flat and you can walk way out to the end. Kids love the rocks and the fishing is pretty good. Tucked away on the harbor side is the only"free" beach in town. The water is shallow and warm and at low tide there's a nice sandy beach to sit and watch the small boat traffic. No restroom facilities and the parking lot fills up fast so plan accordingly. It's a hidden gem
Great walk year round. Tour inside at Heritage Days every August. This local lighthouse is seen on national TV and The Weather Channel every time a Noreaster or Hurricane threatens this quaint New England Drinking Village with a Fishing Problem
It is just beautiful and the view is spectacular. Everyone was out walking their dogs and it had a big sense of community pulling everyone together. They get hit with storms really bad and the Lighthouse is there to protect and guide.
Great little light house - sunset was gorgeous and the walk down to the tower was quick and easy. Parking is abundant and there is a little history lesson to be learned regarding the War of 1812.
Off season, easy parking, well kept, pretty little lighthouse. Nice signage telling bits of history.Nice place for photos, harbor backdrop. The sort of "find" that just makes you smile.
Beautiful lighthouse our on the entrance to Scituate Harbor. There is a large parking lot. The light house is not opened to the public (only on specific days by Scituate Historical Society check their website). The home attacked is occupied so try to give the people a bit of privacy. It is fine to walk around and out onto the jetty.
Scituate Lighthouse is a great place to visit! Doesn't matter if you plan on spending only five minutes or two hours it never disappoints. When you arrive there is plenty of parking so get out and walk around! There is a nice small beach area to stroll along, as long as it is not high tide. There is two sets of jettys for you to walk along and provide great views of the lighthouse? The location of the lighthouse provides many great views from Scituate Harbor. There is always plenty of photo-ops! Sunrise and moonrise often provide a wonderful backdrop for your photo, especially for full moon! Another great backdrop is during a storm! However if you try to visit during high tide of a Nor'Easter be warned the road and area may be flooded and dangerous to travel!
