Great little history lesson. I loved the view and the state park employee was very knowledgeable.
Nice to visit a beautiful part of American history.
The staff are very knowledgeable of the history of the lighthouse and welcoming to the centre.
The walk to the light house was full of wildlife, and we were very lucky to see a deer.
Great visitor location for history buffs, bird watchers, and keen wildlife enthusiasts.

The lighthouse is beautiful, There is a lens viewing edition with a delightful docent who loves telling you everything about them, he even has his Bichon to help. In the original lighthouse building there is a lovely gift shop and lots of wonderful things to read about the lighthouses of Long Island. The tower is currently under construction so you cannot go in. If you continue on to the boardwalk behind the tower it will lead you to a boathouse where you can learn more about the early rescues.
This is a great park for all. Excellent for a hike, a bike, or a swim. Not always that busy either. You can go up into the lighthouse for a fee and will usually see wild deer. Great boardwalk for your convenience all the way out to the lighthouse and other attractions.
This is a national park on a small stretch of the Long Island sound. It is very tranquil here. Great for walks both on the boardwalk and on the beach. There is a little museum and store with clean restrooms that you can visit and learn about the history of the lighthouse and it’s functioning. Presently I don’t believe you can go to the top as there seems to be some restoration work happening.
This place is magical! We walked to the farthest part of the beach and the trail that took us to the charter was beautiful! Everything was so clean and well signposted and it was quiet. The museum is very interesting too. ❤️🌈
Love going to this place every summer. Not a lot of people whether its weekend or weekdays. We used the pedicab to go to the lighthouse but you can also walk to get there. Just park in Field 5 Robert Moses beach. 10 dollars for the parking which is affordable. For pedicab going to the lighthouse cost $5 per person. The museum in the lighthouse is free but they are fixing the lighthouse so we didn't get to go up there. Overall, this is one of the best places in Long Island to explore.
really nice quick boardwalk loop to the lighthouse and back from field 5. plenty of deer along the way. definitely worth the $10 to go to the top of the lighthouse for the views. small giftshop also
