About the Light
Originally,
there was
a
lighthouse
on
Lloyd’s
Neck that
was built
in 1857 to
guide
shipping
into Lloyd
Harbor;
but it was
destroyed
by fire.
In
1912, this
lighthouse
was built
in the
inner
harbor to
show the
way into
both
Huntington
Harbor and
Lloyd’s
Harbor to
the west.
This
unusual
lighthouse
looks more
like a
castle
than a
lighthouse!
It
is built
on a pile
of rocks
just
outside
the red
and green
channel
markers
that take
you past a
spit of
land and
into
Huntington
Harbor; a
true
boating
community
– with
boat
yards,
marinas,
yacht
clubs,
city docks
and lots
of boats!
Inside,
almost to
the end of
the
harbor, on
your port
hand,
there is a
fine
restaurant
on the
water with
easy
docking/parking,
called Co
Co’s!
Huntington
Harbor
Light is
forty-two
feet high
and
flashes a
white
light
every six
seconds
that can
be seen
for nine
miles and
she has a
horn!
In
1967 the
light was
automated
and
ushered in
a period
of
vandalism
and decay.
In
1983, the
Coast
Guard was
ready to
tear it
all down
and
replace it
with a
skeletal
tower; but
an outfit
called
Save
Huntington’s
Lighthouse
stepped in
and took
over the
job of
restoring
the light.
They
have done
a great
job, but
they have
a way to
go and can
use all
the help
they can
get.
The
lighthouse
is only
accessible
by boat,
but if you
can get
out there,
it is
worth the
trip!
