Figure 1. Marshall Point Lighthouse, built in 1832 and rebuilt in 1858, guards the eastern side of Port Clyde Harbor. Much of the geology described here can be viewed directly from the walkway in this photograph. For the more adventurous, a scramble across the rocks will reveal many interesting geological relationships.
