Built in 1799 by George Washington to provide support to American soldiers guarding against a British invasion. Much land has been lost to the ocean, so the lighthouse creeps ever slowly to destruction. More

If you are going out there, you gotta stop. Grounds and surrounding area are clean and scenic. A little pricey for admission, but if you are into lighthouses and history, the museum is great.

Visited the lighthouse many times. The price to play for parking is expensive and so is the price for going into the lighthouse, but it is beautiful. Take a walk around the outside of the lighthouse on the rocks...its free and also the coolest walk! More

This is a great site to go to in the Christmas season. They light up the lighthouse and it is absolutely gorgeous. In the summer it great for hiking and picnicking. The views are amazing. More

The Montauk Lighthouse is one of the most beautiful lighthouses you will see. You can visit it and it's surrounding park almost daily and I just found out that people can hold their wedding ceremony there. What a beautiful venue. I have visited the lighthouse many times and it always seems that the sky is a robin's egg blue whenever... More

Nice attraction point. Good gift store, friendly people. No pets! Little bit windy. it is tall - 137 steps, no problems going up, but felt little bit sick going down. Interesting museum, take time to read papers and watch the video. More

This is the oldest light house in NY state and it is fully funtional. We were lucky to get in and get on top with one of the selective tours. It is surely a must watch when you are around Hamptons More
