I looked and couldn't see anything that resembled a lighthouse. Granted, the area was all private property and I could only see the water between the trees and houses. So I knocked on the door with the best view. Scott answered and I asked him about the light. He mentioned that there was something at the end of the pile of rocks that looked like a reflector that flashed every once in a while. Ah-ha! The Padanaram Breakwater Light.
So here it is in all its glory...
