Plymouth Lighthouse stands at the tip of Gurnet Point, marking the narrow entrance to the coastal waters of Plymouth Bay and Duxbury Bay. This maritime landscape is defined by the thin barrier of Saquish Neck, which protects the harbor from the open Atlantic Ocean. The settlement at Saquish Beach and the isolated community of High Pines are connected by a single transit corridor via Gurnet Rd, showing the tenuous relationship between residential life and the shifting sands of the Massachusetts coast.
