Review of Provincetown Causeway. A breakwater was constructed in 1911 to protect the town’s harbor from the dune’s shifting sands. The unintended consequences of this project were a bonus that allows you to follow its path across the harbor to the outermost finger of the jutting Cape and the sentry of Wood End Lighthouse.

The Rockland Breakwater was built with over 700,000 tons of granite at a price of $750,000 and took almost two decades to complete (1881-1899). It was built because in the 1850's, several big storms from the northeast caused an extreme amount of damage to the inner parts of Rockland Harbor.

The view of Provincetown and the Pilgrim Monument from the far side of the Breakwater was fantastic. We got closer to, but did not journey all the way to both the Wood End Lighthouse and the Long Point Lighthouse. We climbed the first set of dunes to take in the view of the Boston skyline in the far distant horizon.

Now on the National Register of Historic Places, the lighthouse is owned by the City of Rockland and maintained by a dedicated group of volunteers. The breakwater is 4,363 feet (just over 0.8 miles) long. The walk from the parking area out to the lighthouse and back is about a two-mile round trip. Constructed with 700,000 tons of local granite, the breakwater is an engineering marvel that has helped make Rockland Harbor one of the best safe harbors east of Portland.
