Nauset Lighthouse

We visited on a late Monday afternoon in mid-June 2025. There was plenty of parking in the parking lot. There was no one in the booth during our visit and no way to really pay. I wonder if they were understaffed and just couldn't put someone here. If you have the NPS Pass then you're good. We did sit ours on our dashboard just in case. But it's $25 per vehicle and $15 per person if you're walking or biking in. We were here to get our picture with our potato chip bag like many others were doing during our visit. We saw like 4 or 5 other groups looking to do the exact same time. You kind of unofficially wait in line for your turn. There are different angles you can time but to get the one perfectly with the photo on the chip bag you have to stand like in middle of the road. It was very picturesque in late evening. There are a few kiosks with signs and additional structures. We didn't have much time here so we didn't really explore more than just the light house and then moved onto the three sisters light houses. There is a trail here to walk down to the other light houses but it was easier just to walk back to our car and drive down the street. Overall we would probably visit again and explore more of the area and maybe actually hang out at the beach. It's too bad you can't go up into the light house.

Nice views from the lighthouse. Another 10 minutes walk on the trail and you can visit the Three Sister's. The parking lot is well maintained and the adjacent beach is stunning (paid parking lot). The Three Sister's parking lot is free but only for half hour (accessible through Nauset Beach Light Road).

Loved getting to see this beautiful light in person on our 15th wedding anniversary. The actual light house is privately owned and occupied, so there is no tour to really go on, but make sure you walk the trail from the main light down to The Three Sisters. There you'll find the three lights that used to stand and signal on the coastline, but have since been moved back, and what's left of them preserved from coastline erosion.

This is the lighthouse featured on the Cape Cod Potato Chips bag—and it’s just as stunning in real life. Right next to it is a beautiful beach, popular with surfers and families swimming in the ocean. One thing to note: there’s a fairly steep and long path from the parking lot down to the beach, so be prepared for a bit of a climb. Parking is $25, but it covers all six beaches within the Cape Cod National Seashore for the day.

Beautiful beach on Cape Cod National Seashore. What a national treasure. Everyone should visit and enjoy peace and relaxation. This lighthouse is the one on the Cape Cod potato chips bag.

A very pleasant location with the nauset beach nearby. Clean restrooms and plenty of parking. There’s usually a queue to go up the lighthouse. Tip- You could see the three sisters lighthouses on foot just nearby.

We enjoy Nauset light for the beach itself and for the lighthouse. Beach- good amount of parking, free with national Park pass, good changing rooms and bathrooms. Beautiful beach with lifeguard. Lighthouse- We toured the lighthouse for the first time with the kids this summer and enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend you check the schedule for tour times to enjoy it too.

Me and my husband stopped here on our way to P-Town on a Saturday. You park down where the 3 sisters light houses are and walk the 10 minute path down the road to this one. You could not tour it when we went but you can at certain times. Its right next to a beach but we did not check it out. We of course brought our own Cape Cod chip bag to take a pic with it!
