Montauk Point Lighthouse, commissioned by President George Washington in 1792, is the first lighthouse built in New York and the fourth-oldest working lighthouse in the nation, offering unforgettable 360° views of Block Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean from its 110-foot tower. Visitors can tour the historic lighthouse grounds, climb 137 iron steps to the top for iconic views, and explore the museum showcasing the area's rich maritime heritage and the structure's crucial 225-year role as a beacon to mariners.
