The Nobska Point Lighthouse Station was established in 1829 with a combination Keeper's House with a Lantern on the roof. The current tower and keeper's house were built in 1876 and were originally connected by a covered walkway. The light station is situated on a hill overlooking the Nantucket Sound that raises the focal plane of the 40 foot tower to 87 feet. The light still uses a 1888 vintage fourth order Fresnel Lens to display a flashing white light every 6 seconds. The light was automated in 1985.

The Nobska Point Lighthouse continues to be an active aid to navigation operated by the U.S. Coast Guard. The 40 foot tall white cast iron tower is lined with brick and is occasionally open to the public. The keeper's house and grounds are in active use as Coast Guard Housing but the area in front of the tower and outside the inner wooden fence are open to the public.

October 2001 Issue, Change Of Command Makes History. For the first time, the change of command ceremony for the US Coast Guard Group Woods Hole was held at the Nobska Point Lighthouse. While all U.S. lighthouses with the exception of the Boston Lighthouse have been automated, the Coast Guard continues to utilize many of the keeper's houses for housing of personnel. In the case of the Nobska Point Lighthouse, the former commander of the Local Coast Guard Station Captain Russell Webster lived there with his family from 1998 to 2001.
