A Light was established at Hendricks Head in 1823. That lighthouse consisted of a granite keepers house with a tower built on the roof.
The present Light was built in 1855 the square tower is brick. The walkway was covered when the Light was built, and the fog bell was hand held.
Located on a part of Southport Island at the mouth of the Sheepscot River; the light is visable, at a distance, from Southport beach. It can be seen from excursion boats that leave Boothbay Harbor or Bath.
