White and Seavey Islands

White and Seavey Islands

White Island and Seavey Island are in the Isles of Shoals located in and off the coast of New Hampshire. During low tide, the two islands are connected by a land bridge.

White Island is dominated by a lighthouse, now automated, and the keeper's house. The lighthouse and associated buildings are now owned by the state of New Hampshire. The lighthouse tower was restored in 2005 as the result of the efforts of a group of seventh graders in nearby North Hampton, known as the Lighthouse Kids (a chapter of the American Lighthouse Foundation). Poet Celia Thaxter grew up on this island before moving to Smuttynose Island and eventually Appledore Island.

Seavey Island has been the site of a tern restoration project conducted by the Audubon Society of New Hampshire in recent years.
