Sandbars may not seem dangerous, but those off the coast of Hunting Island could destroy a ship and put everyone onboard in peril. To guard against that, lightkeepers and their families lived here, making sure this lighthouse warned sailors of hidden dangers.
Today, you can visit exhibits in the outbuildings, see the remains of the lightkeeper's home, and climb the lighthouse as keepers did each day.
Honoring its importance in our nation's story, this site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Help preserve it by treating the structures with care. Digging or using metal detectors is prohibited.
