Thatcher Island National Wildlife Refuge

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. #Lighthouse #Massachusetts #Seascape

Everything was great, however the pool itself was not heated, it was cold and no one really stayed in it for that reason. Thankfully there was a hot tub.
