From: fred (lonemasswolf@covad.net) | Date: 2001-12-03 19:07:14 UTC-05:00

Letterbox Name:  Gurnet Point Light

 

Location: Gurnet Point, Plymouth, Massachusetts

 

Date Placed:  27 October by the lonemasswolf and You Inspire My Spirit

 

Accessibility: The lighthouse is not open to the public. Gurnet Point is accessible by four-wheel-drive vehicle, bicycle, or foot from Duxbury Beach, but the road to the lighthouse is not open to the general public during the summer season. There may be occasional open houses, including during Duxbury's "Opening of the Bay" festival in May, but the best time to go is off-season.

 

For a History and photographs of the lighthouse please visit http://www.lighthouse.cc/plymouth/index.html

 

Difficulty:  8 mile round trip on sea level terrain.

All questions and comments should be directed to lonemasswolf@covad.net

 

Driving Directions: North or South bound on Route 3, take exit 11. Travel east on Route 14 to the intersection with Route 3A. Cross over Route 3A and follow St. Georges to the end. Turn left on Powder Point Road. Stay to the right until you see King Caesar Road on the right. Follow King Caesar to the wooden bridge at its end. If you visit in the summer, park on the right and walk over the bridge. If you visit off-season, cross the bridge and park in the Duxbury Beach parking lot. From here, follow the road or the beach south to the Gurnet Point community [4 miles]. From here wander about until you find the lighthouse.
