Ned Point Light is a historic lighthouse on Ned's Point Road in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts. The light was built in 1838 at a cost of $4,500. The stone from which was built was all found nearby. There are 32 granite steps which lead to the lantern that are cantilevered without the use of mortar. The original stone keeper's house was loaded on a barge and taken to Wing's Neck Light in 1923. The light was deactivated from 1951 to 1963 after the land was sold to the town of Mattapoisett for use as a park.
The lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. Although Google calls the road "Ned's Point Road", the National Register listing and the USCG Light List use "Ned Point Light" and the USGS shows "Ned Point" on the topo quad.

  This is a great spot for a picnic or to just sit and enjoy the breeze and the view. There's plenty of parking, a nice gazebo and picnic tables. A lovely spot.  more »

  I love it here. Just sit and watch the waves, boats and wind surfers. The lighthouse has always been my go to place. Picnics, kite flying or just sitting quietly in peace.
