In 1857, a lighthouse was built on the tip of Lloyd's Neck to assist ships in finding shelter in Lloyd Harbor from the wind and waves that often hinder navigation on the Long Island Sound. This first lighthouse, called the Lloyd Harbor Light, was of little help to ships entering the adjoining Huntington Harbor. In 1912, a new lighthouse was built to serve Huntington Harbor
The new structure was a unique lighthouse, in both design and construction. The Beaux Arts style makes the light look like a small castle. The reinforced concrete foundation and structure is unique to the area, as well. The foundation for the light was built nearby on land, then floated to the site and sunk.

Lighthouse Music Fest
Each Labor Day weekend, hundreds of boats gather to drop anchor or raft up with friends and listen to the Island's best talent rock from noon to sundown
For thousands of boaters, kayakers and fans on hand, it is the perfect end to summer. And I couldn't agree more. I brought my kayak and had a blast!
