Montauk Point Lighthouse & Museum

A Landmark at Long Island’s Edge

Discover

At the eastern end of Long Island, Montauk Point Lighthouse connects a coastal landmark with the history of navigation. Completed in 1796, the lighthouse offers a starting point for thinking about the work of guiding vessels along the coast. Its setting gives the building context: land, water, and the need for a visible signal.

Before you go

Check lighthouse and museum admission separately from surrounding park access, including any tower-climb requirements.

Social

A coastal landmark begins with a practical purpose: helping people find their way. Montauk Point Lighthouse brings that story to Long Island’s eastern edge, where the relationship between land and water defines the view.

When you see a lighthouse, do you think first of its design or its purpose?
