Highland Light Tours
Description
The original Highland (Cape Cod) Light was constructed in 1797, making it the first lighthouse on Cape Cod. The current 1857 tower is the third on the site, and recently underwent a major rehabilitation. Tours and bookstore operated by seashore partner, Eastern National. The site is open 9 am-5 pm, staffing permitting. The last tour of the day takes place at 4:30 pm.

- To keep hands free for handrails, no person may be lifted or carried.
- Food, drinks, and bulky personal items (e.g. backpacks, tripods) should be left in your vehicle in the parking area.
- Shoes are required. Closed-toed shoes are recommended. Flip-flops are not allowed.
