Nauset Lighthouse
2025/11/1 Edited to

... Read moreIf you've ever snacked on Cape Cod Chips and admired the lighthouse on the bag, you might wonder whether it's just a logo or an actual landmark. It really is the Nauset Lighthouse located in Eastham, Massachusetts, a beacon with more than a century of history. Not only is it a symbol of the snack's heritage, but it also stands as an enduring maritime landmark that has guided ships safely along the Massachusetts coast since 1877. Interestingly, the lighthouse was moved inland in the 1990s to protect it from the accelerating erosion of Coastline, a measure which helped preserve this piece of Cape Cod heritage. Today, the Nauset Lighthouse is part of the Cape Cod National Seashore and remains a popular destination for travelers who appreciate coastal charm and historical landmarks. Visiting Nauset Lighthouse allows you to step into the landscape depicted on every bag of Cape Cod Chips, connecting you physically to the rich story behind the brand. Whether you're a lighthouse lover, a history enthusiast, or just exploring hidden gems along the East Coast, this location offers a unique blend of natural beauty and American heritage. For those planning a trip, the lighthouse is accessible at 120 Nauset Light Beach Road, Eastham, MA. Besides admiring the lighthouse itself, visitors can explore nearby walking trails, beaches, and the charming town of Eastham. The whimsy of seeing a familiar logo come to life in such a tangible way enhances the travel experience and deepens appreciation for local culture. So next time you reach for a bag of Cape Cod Chips, remember the story it tells—of a real lighthouse standing steadfast for over 100 years and the coastal spirit it represents. It’s more than a snack; it’s a taste of history and the scenic beauty of Cape Cod itself.

Breakwater lighthouse Hike📍 Provincetown, MA
This one is a must visit if you have a full day on Cape Cod. I’d advice you to check the water tide times and make sure you are going at a time when the tide is starting to go down (some of the rocks get covered and it’d be hard to cross). The hike is gorgeous tho! You walk on the rocks to
