Long Beach Bar Lighthouse, AKA Bug Light, July,2009First Lit: 1871
Decommisioned: 1948
Relit: 1993
When I spent a good deal of time in this area 20 years ago, there was no lighthouse here. A fire in 1963 destroyed this light leaving only the foundation and riprap that surrounds the structure. I was fortunate to see it up close for the first time this summer. Reminiscent of the screwpile lighthouses of Chesapeake Bay, the light marks the entrance to the passage seperating Shelter Island from the North Fork.
