White Island State Historic Site Details
Surround by the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean, this historic lighthouse is the only one of its kind in the Isle of Shoals. It was erected on White Island in 1820 and used to deter incoming boats and mariners traveling to New Hampshire from the northeast.

With a height of 85-feet, it remains a historic landmark and recognizable icon of the Isle of Shoals.
