Eatons Neck Light, Maritime lighthouse in Eatons Neck, United States.

The 22-meter tall fieldstone lighthouse stands on the coast of Huntington Bay, marking the entrance for vessels navigating Long Island Sound.

Built in 1798 with funds of 13,250 dollars, the lighthouse was designed by architect John McComb Jr and first illuminated on January 1, 1799.

The structure represents one of only two remaining 18th-century lighthouses in New York State, alongside Montauk Point Light.

The lighthouse operates with a fog horn that produces a three-second blast every thirty seconds to assist maritime navigation in low visibility conditions.

The lighthouse foundation combines dressed stone and timber, while the superstructure features fieldstone walls lined with brick in an octagonal pyramidal shape.
