Thatcher Island National Wildlife Refuge Tours

The tall, slender twin lighthouses on 50-acre Thacher Island, on the Town of Rockport's seal since 1888, are an indespensible part of the local seascape. Now designated a National Historic Landmark, the island is also recognized as a significant historic site for the nation as a whole.
Thacher Island is open to the public from mid-June until mid September. It can be reached via the Thacher Island launch which runs on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
