Lighthouse · Suffolk County, New York
Orient Long Beach Bar Light is a lighthouse in Suffolk County, New York. New York has 84 lighthouses on record at Wayfarrow, 17 of them in Suffolk County.
It was built in 1990, in the postwar decades, making it the 54th oldest of the 56 in New York with a recorded construction date; its light sits 62 feet above the water; the light characteristic is recorded as Fl W 4s (a white flash every 4 seconds), with a range of about 8 nautical miles; it was deactivated in 1963.
Status check, 2026-11: The original 1871 screwpile 'Bug Light' burned on July 4, 1963. A near-replica was built on the surviving foundation in 1990 and became a working navigation aid again in 1993. Only Wikipedia gives a tower height (58 ft); other sources give only the light's height above water (62–63 ft), so the height is left null. It stands at 41.1089° N, 72.3064° W.
