Standing guard over Long Island Sound since 1823, Old Field Point Light is a historic granite lighthouse in Old Field, New York. Originally built to guide maritime traffic through the busy Sound, it served mariners for generations before being deactivated. The tower’s distinctive design and scenic waterfront setting make it a favorite subject for photographers, particularly during golden hour when warm light reflects off the Sound.
While the lighthouse is not open to the public and cannot be climbed, it’s easily admired from nearby roads and shoreline vantage points. Visitors to the area can explore the charming Village of Old Field, the nearby Port Jefferson Harbor with its shops and ferry terminal, and Flax Pond Nature Preserve.
