Boston Area Lighthouses

Boston Light, Annisquam Harbor Light, and Eastern Point Light are all under the watch of the United States Coast Guard, Sector Boston.

Each Light Station has a unique history of its own, serving as an aid to navigation in the Boston Area.

Ever wonder what it's like at the top of a lighthouse tower during the middle of a storm. Have a look and hear the roar.
