Old Scituate Lighthouse in Scituate, Mass provides a beacon of light for those who don't want to travel all the way to Maine or over the bridge to Cape Cod for a lighthouse scene at sunrise.

Most convenient for those living in the metrowest and south of Boston suburbs, Scituate Lighthouse's early 1800s classic lighthouse structure, juxtaposed with sunup, yields a most memorable scene.
