Lighthouse · Suffolk County, New York
Old Field Point Light is a lighthouse in Suffolk County, New York. New York has 84 lighthouses on record at Wayfarrow, 17 of them in Suffolk County.
Its light sits 75 feet above the water; the light characteristic is recorded as Alternating R and G 24 s (R 12s , G 12s), with a range of about 14 nautical miles; it was deactivated in 1933; the structure is built of stone.
Status check, 2026-11: The 1823 tower is gone; the current granite lighthouse dates to 1868 or 1869 (sources differ) and was relit in 1991. Reported heights also conflict (about 46 ft, about 50 ft, or 74 ft above sea level), so both values are null. It stands at 40.9770° N, 73.1186° W.
