Rocky Shore with Coast Guard Station is a 1865 oil by John Amory Codman, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
The painting depicts a rugged rocky shore with a Coast Guard station in the background. The shore is characterized by large, jagged rocks that stretch along the water's edge, with some areas covered in grass and bushes. In the distance, a small building is visible, likely the Coast Guard station, set against a clear sky. The artist's use of oil paint creates a textured, detailed scene that draws the viewer's eye to the rocky shoreline. The colors are muted, with shades of gray and brown dominating the palette, which adds to the sense of ruggedness and natural beauty.
