The Point Gammon Light was a lighthouse that stood on its eponymous point at the south end of Great Island in West Yarmouth, Massachusetts, on the east side of Lewis Bay and the entrance to Hyannis Harbor.[1][2] Long inactive, it was converted into an ornithological observation tower in the late 19th century.[3]
