Cleveland Ledge Lighthouse

USA / Massachusetts / West Falmouth /
 lighthouse  Add category
It sits in shallow water on the eastern of the two halves of Cleveland Ledge, which is said to have been named for President Grover Cleveland because he used to fish in the area. It marks the east side of the beginning of the dredged channel leading to the Cape Cod Canal and is the first fixed mark when going northbound through the canal. As it is an important mark in an area subject to fog, it has a racon showing the letter "C".

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Cleveland Ledge Light Station in 1987.
