Horton’s Point lighthouse in Southold, NY was commissioned in 1790 by President George Washington and first lit in 1857. It’s a beautiful sight to see from the land, I can only imagine how it looks from the sea. We came upon the lighthouse too late in the afternoon to visit inside, but I climbed over the chain and walked up to it to take these pictures. The steep walkway down to the beach was just as breath taking as the lighthouse.
