Cape Cod National Seashore Highland Lighthouse

In a 1961 bill signed by President John F. Kennedy, the 27,700-acre Cape Cod National Historic Seashore was established to preserve virtually the entire eastern shoreline in its natural state for all time. All of the beaches here, while cold, are otherwise superior - wide, long, sandy and dune-backed, with great views.

 

The Salt Pond Visitor Center has displays of early Cape Cod artifacts (including antique scrimshaw) and a bookstore. Eastham Windmill is a smock mill built in the early 1680s. It moved to this site in 1808 and is now the centerpiece of a park. It is the only Cape windmill still on a site on which it was in commercial use.
