Fire Island Lighthouse EXPLORE - a photo on Flickriver

            Fire Island Lighthouse is one the largest and best preserved lighthouses in the Northeast and is just a short easy drive from New York City.  It is 168 feet tall that was opened in 1858 to replace a 74 foot tower built in 1826. In 1974 the United States Coast Guard  decommissioned the lighthouse. The care of lighthouse was taken over by Fire Island Lighthouse Preservation Society and raised 1.2 million to restore the lighthouse. In 1985 it was restored to active duty as an active aid to navigation. In 2006 it became a private aid to navigation with it's operation and maintenance being taken care of by Fire Island Lighthouse Preservation Society instead of the USCG. The lighthouse keepers house with the red roof is now a museum with a gift shop. (I bought a fridge magnet!) and for ten dollars or five dollars senior you can climb to the top and enjoy a spectacular view of the area. You can access the area with a half mile walk from the parking area. However during the summer the area is jammed packed with beach goers so the best time to visit this landmark is off season.
