Montauk Point Lighthouse is a wonderful place to visit. The view from this area to the lighthouse makes it very clear that the facility is well maintained. The most striking feature about the lighthouse is its brightly colored, roof.

Looking through the binoculars I could see many of the wavecaps, the island outline, the majestic shoreline, occasional flights of speedy terns (birds), a couple of boats and nearby rocks and shrubbery.
Secondary to the roof is the huge lens that makes up the lighting fixture itself, which I believe is always on, as I noticed that a dim but whitish-yellow light could clearly be seen against the backdrop of the brightly lit, daylight sky. I can bet that this place is a real beacon at night. Surrounding the lens and lighting fixture are panes of glass that go full circle around the lighthouse structure.
