We’re closing out Season 1 of Beneath the Surface with a love letter to community and coastal history. The finale takes you to Rockport’s Thacher Island, home to the 125-foot twin lights, and into the hands of the volunteers who keep this living landmark shining.

It’s a story of teamwork and dedication, of volunteers painting, mowing, repairing, and maintaining the island with care and pride. Fueled by determination and respect for those who came before, this episode honors the spirit of preservation and the next generation ready to carry the light forward.
