Cedar Island Light, Lighthouse in East Hampton, United States.
Cedar Island Light stands 30 feet tall with a granite structure and square shape, overlooking the waters of Gardiners Bay from Cedar Point County Park.
The lighthouse, constructed in 1839, guided ships through Gardiners Bay until 1934, when an automatic light on a steel skeleton replaced its original function.
The Renaissance Revival architecture of Cedar Island Light represents the maritime traditions of East Hampton and its role in 19th-century coastal navigation.
The lighthouse site covers 1.5 acres and features a sixth order Fresnel lens with a range of 5 nautical miles across Gardiners Bay.
A hurricane in 1938 created a natural walkway to the lighthouse by forming a narrow strip of land connecting it to the mainland.
