Montauk Point Lighthouse Museum - Historical place museum in Montauk - 2000 Montauk Hwy, USA

The value you get from this lighthouse is less about history and more with the fact that you visited the eastern tip of the continental United States. The lighthouse looks literally like something out of a postcard (see the pictures) and it carries the test of time with its bricks and walls. It is absolutely classy and perfect for a date hike. The views are great all around and if time permits, I highly recommend you take a stroll down to the adjacent beach. The tower itself is a single file passage and it does feel a bit claustrophobic, and yes, the view is great but you don't get to enjoy it because there'll be a long line in a single file waiting for you to get out. We visited in late fall during Thanksgiving and the drive towards Montauk Point was also quite a beauty. The endless colorful fall leaves that carpeted both above and the sides of the road was a scene to behold. Make sure to visit towards sunset. Although it is the eastern tip so you won't be seeing sunset into the horizon of the ocean, you'll absolutely enjoy orange skies towards the land, and the drive back will be absolutely phenomenal.

The Montauk Point Lighthouse Museum is a fun place to visit. Lots of historical displays and history about the point, the lighthouse, and the Fresnel lenses. Also the climb up into the lighthouse is well worth it but you have to be steady on your feet and be able to follow their directions about going up and down the stairs since it's a tight fit. View is gorgeous but it's one person at a time. Great visit and world def recommend.

It is a tourist attraction and part of history (First lighthouse in NY) so I am confused with people complaining about it being crowded (Duh). There is plenty of information and items on display. Admission is $15 and there is a seniors discount. This is in addition to the $8 in parking. It can get very windy. 137 steps on a spiral staircase to get to the top which on a nice day offers spectacular views. Interactive virtual aquarium for the kids as well.

It’s a stunning place to visit and unwind. The museum opens at 10.30 am, and adult tickets cost $15. Children under 42” in height cannot enter the lighthouse but can enjoy free admission to the museum. If you plan to visit the lighthouse, I recommend going early because there tends to be a long line. My daughter particularly enjoyed the underwater interactive session.

Visited the lighthouse at labor day with family. The ticket was$15 for adults and $5 for kids, and it is totally worth it. As long as you are willing to wait for somewhat half an hour-ish, you can enter the lighthouse and go all the way to the top. The view is magnificent. You will know it when you see the entire Montauk beneath you.

Stunning View, Beautiful Lighthouse and the most important thing DOG NOT ALLOWED! remember this! Could be better if I will be able to get into the ground but I couldn't. I saw the sign of guard dog so that is why, unless it is a service dog who well train and well behaved. I thought at the beginning they won't just allow you to enter to the building but even the ground you can't. We walk around outside the lighthouse gate and on the beach. It was stunning even the weather was hot in early September. I can see fog on top of the lighthouse and the beach that next to giant rocks. On the side of the lighthouse there are people fishing and it was so mysterious looking. Even it was out of season but still many tourists, think about in the summer it probably packed. My friend how live here told me, coming during high season is a mistake. Lots of traffic in Montauk, everyone eat and go to the same place and as you know Montauk is not a big town and has limitation of utilities and convenient stuff. Everything seems to be more expensive here than regular long island area. Anyway, Montauk Point Lighthouse is the most must go when you visit Montauk.

The view from the Montauk Lighthouse is absolutely breathtaking! I have always loved this place. The grounds around the lighthouse are well-maintained and perfect for a picnic or a relaxing walk. Overall, it's a great spot for a family outing!

At the end of Long Island. Very friendly stuff. Little museum with nice history. The tower is an interessting spot to go up. Absolutely worth the trip.
