Join us this month as we set out to photograph lighthouses around Cape Ann. (by land)

The lighthouses we plan to photograph:

Thacher Island Twin Lights
Straitsmouth Island Light
Annisquam Light
Eastern Point Light
Ten Pound Island Light

Maps of our route will be handed out before we depart the town lot. Rain or shine, we hope to make it to all the lighthouses. Comfortable weatherproof clothes are recommended, as well as shoes that can be worn in the sand.

Please Note: Parking can be extremely limited on Cape Ann, so it would be best if we try to carpool from the town lot. A couple of shoot locations do not have parking available so our stops will need to be brief, but the view will be great!

This promises to be a great event, looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday!

    I'm upset. I just learned that my daughter's college graduation is same day. Would anyone enjoy the lighthouses with me on another day?

    Access to these lighthouses is achievable within a good distance for photography. We can go to each caravan style, or carpool from the meeting location (tbd). Looking forward to seeing you all for this event!

       Kudos to Beth the Organizer. Thanks for putting the event together. Well done. Nice turnout. Good group of people. Fun time. 
    •  Thanks to everyone for making today so enjoyable! Great weather, wonderful people, and beautiful scenery. 
    •  Great day! Very, very well organized...probably the most impressive thing was the that the organizer printed maps from lighthouse to lighthouse and I don't think anyone got lost. Thanks for organizing this Beth!! 
    •  Saw some great lighthouses and learned how to get to them. Interesting conversations. 
    •  What a great event! A lot of thought and work went in to planning this one. A definite A+ as far as photography trips go. Also a great group of people to photograph with. 
    •  I love lighthouses so this was a great day trip. Hope to see more lighthouse trips arranged.
