Sankaty Head Lighthouse Nantucket - Red and White Coastal Photography
Sankaty Head Lighthouse rises above the scrubby heath of Nantucket's eastern bluffs, its bold red and white stripes unmistakable against a brilliant blue sky. Built in 1850, this beloved beacon guided ships past the treacherous shoals off Nantucket's coast for over 150 years. In 2007, the lighthouse was famously moved 400 feet inland to save it from the eroding cliffs a dramatic rescue that made national news. Today it stands as one of the most photographed landmarks on the island, its clean graphic lines and vivid colors a symbol of Nantucket's maritime soul.
