There was plenty of free parking at the beach parking lot nearby, but only because we were there in early October. It is a beautiful lighthouse and a short walk over from the beach parking lot. The light house looks well maintained, and the setting is so pretty. We hope to return on a day when tours are being given.

There are various trails here. We really enjoyed the trail which had a boardwalk! It was nice and wide, scenic and led down to the water. We enjoyed the other trails as well. It is a great walk to do as a family!

We stopped here on our way to the P-town in hopes to find some outdoor hikes to do while on the Cape for the day , and we are glad we did. There is a large parking lot with free parking. You have access to several hikes right from the the lot. The visitor's center has an abundance of information abut the Cape and all the activities available. If you are looking for hikes as we were, as the Ranger for a "self guide" map of the Cape. The map is free and shows numerous places to get out doors. After our visit to the tip of the Cape, we stopped again and hiked the three trails. There are some very beautiful views if you take the time to stop and enjoy them.

Buddha Bobs is one of our favorite places to go to find treasures with which to create! Gems, stones, artistic odds and ends,The prices are very reasonable and, more than once, they even gave me things for free! Abby is a wonderful, friendly, compassionate and artistic person and her partner (I'm sorry, I forgot your name) is just as kind and wonderful! THEY make your experience fun and exciting! Thank you for offering such wonderful treasures! We will be back! We're coming back in October, so hope you're still open!

The entrance to the home used to be whale jawbones. It cannot be toured as there are major renovations taking place. It is near the Fort Hill and Red Maple Swamp Trails.

8. The Three Sisters Lighthouses

Reviewed By biddiesmom - Cheshire, United States
These are the quaintest lighthouses. You can walk a path from Nauset Lighthouse to get to them or if you're lucky enough there are 2 spots out in front of them. These are not the original "three sisters" as they did not fair well with the weather on the Cape. They were eventually replaced by Nauset Light. They were redesigned/reconstructed and moved to where they are now. The back history of the original Three Sister's is a very interesting read. They are still beautiful.
