New Dungeness Light
New Dungeness Light, Brick lighthouse at Dungeness Spit, Washington, United States.
The white and black lighthouse marks the end of the six-mile Dungeness Spit, extending into the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Built in 1857 under architect Ammi B. Young's design, the tower underwent reduction from 100 to 63 feet in 1927 due to structural issues.
The New Dungeness Light Station Association, formed by local volunteers in 1994, maintains this maritime navigation point after Coast Guard departure.
Visitors reach the lighthouse through a 5.5-mile hike across Dungeness Spit or by boat between May 15th and September 30th each year.
The structure stands at the tip of the longest natural sand spit in North America, formed by deposits from the Dungeness River.
