Montauk Point Light
Built on the eastern most point of Long Island in 1796, it is the fourth-oldest lighthouse in the United States. The tower was built on a bluff 300 feet from the edge of the water, but due to erosion it is now 100 feet from the Atlantic. Stone barricades have been added in hopes of stopping the ocean's further encroachment.
