Montauk Point Lighthouse
Park · Montauk, NY
About
Montauk Point Lighthouse is a historic landmark and museum, set at the easternmost tip of Long Island. As New York's oldest lighthouse, it offers a unique glimpse into maritime history. The surrounding park provides scenic views of the Atlantic, making it a quiet, reflective stop rather than a typical arts venue. You'll find exhibits on lighthouse history and the region's nautical past inside the tower. Regulars know that visiting in the late afternoon means fewer crowds and better light for photos. The grounds are open year-round, but the museum's hours are limited to 10:30am to 4:30pm daily. If you're exploring the Hamptons, it's a worthwhile detour for a dose of history with a view.
