Bird Island Light

Bird Island Light is protected by the Bird Island Lighthouse Preservation Society, which maintains an office in Marion for this purpose. On the east side of Sippican Harbor, this 31-foot white rock conical tower, built in 1819, flashes a white light visible for ten miles, using 10 lamps with 14-inch reflectors through a 300mm lens. The light has a 1.2s flash interval and uses a bell fog signal.

The light is owned by the Town of Marion and is closed to the public. The island serves as a nesting ground for endangered roseate terns from May to August.
