Long Island's lighthouses offer long views that tower above our coastline.
Passing ships use these historic beacons to navigate, and tourists can climb the winding steps to scenic panoramas.
According to local experts, Suffolk County Long Island has more lighthouses than any other county in the United States.
You can climb the winding steps of the historic lighthouse at Montauk Point, which was completed in 1796 at the request of President George Washington and it is the oldest lighthouse on Long Island and in New York State.

Larry and Sheila, This is good information for people who will bw visiting the area this summer. Nice picture.
Good morning, Larry & Sheila. I really like lighthouses. They are part of Americana and the wanderlust of the sea...
I just love lightouses, and I remember visiting the Montauk Lighthouse as a kid. Lighthouses have such a romantic appeal although the lighthouse tenders probably wouldn't agree with that.
Great informational post about the area, Larry/Sheila.
Larry & Sheila - I have been to Long Island several times and love it. I think anything to do with lighthouses is interesting and there seems to be a certain mystic about them. This is a good read!
Gita, Lighthouses are a great day-trip activity here on LI and summer is the great time to enjoy them!
Michael, Yes and they are fun and educational!
Toni, Montauk Point lighthouse is certainly an historic one being the oldest one in New York State.
Barbara, Suffolk County LI has the most lighthouses than other County in all of the USA ~ We are going to try and make sometime this summer to take one of the day-trip excursions visiting these great structures!
Good morning Larry and Sheila.
Not long ago There was a show on channel 13 about the light house...
Long Island is a great place to visit and live in.
Larry & Sheila, when I think of the East Coast, besides the fun cities, I think of lighthouses, LOTS of them.
Larry and Sheila,
Lighthouses are a symbol of a haven and safety. They are beautiful and a special reminder of days gone by. I love that so many people are restoring them. All the best, A
Larry and Sheila. I love lighthouses. Great picture.
Joshua, Would have enjoyed watching that ~ Yes LI is a great place to live!
Joan, Yes here in Suffolk County we have more than anywhere else!
Belinda, You can visit by boat with a stop-off at these monuments!
Ron/Alexandra, Lighthouses show the way!
I've never been to Long Island, but I feel like I have through your wonderful posts Larry/Sheila.
Anita, And that's how we feel about your blog posts also!
We have two lighthouses here, an old historic non-working one and a working one. I'd love to visit the working one but it's off limits.
Hi,
Did the creep from yesterday ever call and explain?
I like lighthouses also. The closest is in Santa Cruz, about 25 miles from here. They converted the old house next to the lighthouse into a "surf museum" with historic surfer photo, boards, etc.
Larry and Sheila--There is just something about lighthouses. Everybody loves them. That is a wonderful photograph---that could be an entry in the Photo Blogger Contest!
Eric, You gotta check out the ones on Long Island ~ truly a great experience!
Lloyd, No we're sure we will never hear back from her. It's okay another learning experience!
Pat, There are so many Lighthouses to see here on Long Island that taking a day trip and stopping by them is real fun!
