Description
The Sandy Hook Lighthouse is the oldest standing and working lighthouse in the United States. This National Historic Landmark has been lighting the way aiding mariners since 1764. Lighting the way through the southern tip of New York Harbor it endured an attempt to destroy it by the British during the Revolutionary War. When first constructed it stood a mere 500 feet from the tip of Sandy Hook and due to growth it stands 1.5 miles inland. Restored in 2000 it is maintained by the US Coast Guard.
