Eatons Neck Cove, Asharoken, NY 11768, US

Eaton's Neck Lighthouse, located in Asharoken, NY, is a historic landmark that has been guiding seamen since its completion in 1799. Standing at a height of 73 feet, this freestone tower offers a panoramic view of Long Island Sound and serves as a vital navigational aid for ships navigating the treacherous reef of rocks in the area. Constructed by renowned contractor John J. McComb, the lighthouse features an octagonal tower made of hammer-dressed stone, adorned with windows on its sides and a spiral wooden staircase leading to the lantern room. The tower's distinctive black and white horizontal stripes have given way to an all-white exterior, while the original oil-powered illuminating apparatus has been replaced with a third-order Fresnel lens powered by electricity. With its rich history and picturesque location, Eaton's Neck Lighthouse continues to be a beacon of safety for mariners along the northern shore of Long Island.Generated from the website
