Sodus Outer Light, Coastal lighthouse in Wayne County, United States.
The cast iron lighthouse stands 49 feet tall at the western pier entrance of Sodus Bay, featuring a square pyramidal shape with white markings.
Built in 1858 as a wooden structure, the lighthouse received a complete reconstruction in 1938, transforming it into a durable cast iron beacon.
The Sodus Bay Historical Society maintains a maritime museum inside the lighthouse, preserving the nautical heritage of Lake Ontario's largest natural harbor.
The automated lighthouse contains a Fourth Order Fresnel lens that projects white light visible for 10 nautical miles, flashing every six seconds.
The lighthouse marks the entrance to Sodus Bay, which spans six miles long and three miles wide, forming the largest natural harbor on Lake Ontario.
