Huntington Harbor Light

Huntington Harbor Light is a lighthouse in Suffolk County, New York. New York has 84 lighthouses on record at Wayfarrow, 17 of them in Suffolk County.

It was built in 1912, in the early 20th century, making it the 47th oldest of the 56 in New York with a recorded construction date; the tower stands about 42 feet tall (25th tallest of 38 measured in New York); its light sits 39 feet above the water; the light characteristic is recorded as Iso W 6s (a white light, equally on and off, repeating every 6 seconds), with a range of about 9 nautical miles; the structure is built of reinforced concrete.

Status check, 2026-11: The light station dates to 1857, but the current poured-concrete tower was built in 1912. It is still active and owned by a preservation society. One tourism listing gives 54 ft instead of 42. Huntington Harbor Light is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It stands at 40.9107° N, 73.4313° W.
