Pages Rock Light

Chesapeake Bay · Virginia

Pages Rock Light is a historic caisson lighthouse built in 1893 on the York River in Virginia. Constructed to guide maritime traffic along this vital Chesapeake Bay tributary, the lighthouse served as a reliable navigational aid for decades before being deactivated. Its distinctive caisson-style design, rising directly from the water, makes it a notable example of late 19th-century lighthouse engineering.

The lighthouse is not open to the public and cannot be climbed, but it remains a striking sight from the water. The best photography opportunities come during golden hour from a boat. Nearby attractions include Colonial Williamsburg, Historic Yorktown, and the scenic York River State Park, all within easy driving distance.
