New England lighthouses with verified visitor information

This guide lists only the lighthouses where we have read visitor-access details on an official or operator page. It is a starting point, not a list of every lighthouse you can see. Many others can be viewed from public land or from the water, but we haven’t verified those yet.

Seasons, tour dates and fees change every year. Before you go, open the official link for each site. Last checked November 11, 2026.
