Fire Island Light, Maritime landmark in Suffolk County, United States
The Fire Island Light stands 51 meters tall with black exterior walls featuring a white horizontal band and black lantern at the summit.
The original lighthouse built in 1826 measured 23 meters in height before being replaced by the current stone tower structure in 1858.
The lighthouse represented the first sign of American soil for numerous European immigrants arriving through New York Harbor during the late 1800s.
Visitors can access the lighthouse through Robert Moses State Park Field 5 and participate in tower tours between 10 AM and 3:30 PM daily.
Fire Island has expanded through sand accumulation, placing the lighthouse nearly 8 kilometers from the western end at Democrat Point.
