Constructed between 1894 and 1905, the 2,250-foot Dog Bar breakwater and Breakwater Light serves as a welcoming beacon to sea firers coming into Gloucester Harbor.

At the end of this breakwater is another light, Gloucester Breakwater Light, established to mark dangerous Dog Bar Reef.

The keeper of Eastern Point Light also had the duty of keeping this light, a dangerous task when ice covered the stone breakwater. The breakwater today is a favorite spot for walking and fishing. At times bluefish are plentiful at this spot.

We will have our story posted soon!

Thank you for Visiting.
