My husband and I took a winter walk on the plum Island beach behind the lighthouse. DRESS WARM. It was FREEZING but worth seeing!!! Absolutely breath taking!! Several dog owners walking their dogs and visitors in search of snowy owl pics.See more..
The Newburyport Harbor Front Range Light is often overlooked because it’s not a plainly visible, especially from the street, as the Newburyport Harbor Rear Range Light, which was renamed Newburyport Lighthouse when it became privately owned, is closer to the street and much taller, so it gets most of the attention. This range light is located on the USCG Station on the other side of the driveway to the parking lot out behind the rear range light. The line-up of the two was a navigational aid for boats and ships coming up the river. When this range light was moved in the 1950’s, it underwent renovations. The 15-foot steel tower was capped with a new 20-foot wooden tower. Due to its short height, it's in the bug light category. For me, no trip to Newburyport is complete with a visit to view the two lighthouses in one stop. PHOTO TIP: If the barrel of your camera lens is small enough, put it through an opening in the chain link fence, and you can get an unobstructed-view photo. I rate Newburyport Harbor Front Range Light at 4.0 and can recommend viewing it when visiting the nearby Newburyport Harbor Rear Range Light a/k/a Newburyport Lighthouse as well as the Range Light Community Sculpture Garden at the art association. All are very close to each other. The reason for the delay in submitting this review was due to a months-long loss of my ability to post photos with my reviews.
