Well maintained, no pigeon dung on it like other statues and no noticeable erosion or wear on it.

Bottom Line: 168+ year old brick, conical lighthouse nestled amongst beautiful scenery…read more Gay Head Lighthouse, as we see it today, was built in 1855 and first lit in 1856. The brick lighthouse is a conical shape and 52 feet in height. Although it may be considered short as far as lighthouses go, it is perched above the Aquinnah Cliffs. In 2015 it was moved back 134 feet to safeguard the historic structure from the erosion of the cliffs. My husband and I visited in early May and the lighthouse was not open for climbing yet but we still enjoyed visiting the grounds. The upside to visiting in the shoulder season is that we were the only ones at the lighthouse and we were able to enjoy the grassy lawn and nifty brick structure in peace. We were easily able to get a parking spot and then it was a short walk through some brush and trees to the lighthouse. As I understand it, the lighthouse is open for climbing between Memorial Day and Labor Day and the views from the top are lovely.

Signs around the entryway state that fishing, boating, swimming and camping are strictly prohibited. But ever since I was a child I always wondered what the old Medieval looking ruin had to offer the not so faint of heart. Now as an adult literalist, I interpret the absence of a no trespassing order as something akin to an invitation. One side of the structure can be seen on the right while driving north on Route 24 coming from 195. Take exit 5 and follow Eastern Avenue then take a left onto New Boston Road. At the end, turn left onto Willow Street which turns into Ruth Street (over the freeway) and then Meridian Street (in a very short distance). Park on Hannah Street or Bergeron Street and then walk back toward whence you drove and go around the left of the fence across the road. What awaits you on the other side is a lonesome path long neglected over time. Weeds and trees flourish between cracks in the crumbling asphalt. Once past the noise from the street, an eerie quiet sets in. A short walk will lead you to the northern shores of the pond. Continue along and watch for the ruins on the right. Inside you will find excellent photo opportunities and a remarkable example of structural decay and a forest gradually reclaiming lost ground. Vines ensnare the surrounding trees and creep alongside the walls of the massive building. The colossal inner chambers are full of trees and enormous stones that have given way to time. Interesting exterior brickwork nestled among stones can be seen as one moves along the southern edge of the building closer to the shore. One wall bears the scar of what may have been a large lightning strike. Most of the walls have soaring vacancies in the stonework that may have once held windows or doors. Sadly, there is some graffiti, but it's a minor distraction in such an exciting place. After you've had your fill of the ruins, continue along the path and feel the eyes of the forest upon you. Low walls of stone accompany you throughout most of your journey and it would be difficult to get lost. Bear left when the path splits about a half mile after you've gone over the causeway (it can be difficult to discern) and you will eventually return to Meridian Street. Do NOT forget your camera!

The only caution I have as you're walking around is to watch your step. There are many Canadian geese a laying large green poops in the area.
