Standing sentinel in Norwalk Harbor since 1906, Pecks Ledge Light is a classic spark-plug style lighthouse marking dangerous underwater ledges along Connecticut’s coastline. This active aid to navigation features a distinctive cast-iron and concrete construction typical of early 20th-century offshore lighthouses.

Visiting: The lighthouse is not open to the public, but visitors can enjoy excellent views from boat tours departing Norwalk Harbor or from Sheffield Island nearby.

Photography: Golden hour provides stunning shots, with morning light illuminating the tower’s eastern face. Fall offers dramatic skies and fewer crowds on the water.

Nearby Attractions: Sheffield Island Lighthouse, the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, and Calf Pasture Beach offer additional exploration opportunities along this scenic stretch of Long Island Sound.
