This book will take you on a tour of the lighthouses in the New York City Metro region, the five boroughs of the city and Long Island. We start in Manhattan where we visit six locations. From there, we drive south onto Staten Island for five more towers. After traveling to the Bronx for one tower there, we head out to Long Island. The next three towers are in Nassau County, two on islands in the Long Island Sound and one on the mainland. Even this one must be seen from a boat. Our final fifteen stations are all in Suffolk County. The first twelve of these are on Long Island's north shore in or along the Long Island Sound. Seven of these must be seen from the water but several cruise lines offer excursions that routinely pass these locations. We then head to the South Fork to catch the next three stations, including the Montauk Point Lighthouse which appears on the cover of this book. We finish our journey at the Fire Island Lighthouse on the south shore. You will be given detailed directions on how to locate every beacon that is readily seen. There is no need for a tour guide with this book in your possession.  Information will be provided on each tower and a full-page representative color photograph will be displayed.  Information will also be given for those lighthouses that are not available for public viewing. This is usually because they are so far out at sea that getting to them is prohibitive or, in some cases, because private property prevents their viewing.  In addition, there are many cases where the original structure is no longer in existence.  A discussion will be provided for those locations where a modern light has replaced the original structure and historical data will be given for those beacons that simply no longer exist.  Whether you are a lighthouse aficionado who loves chasing these classic structures or a young family on a budget who is looking for a low-cost tourist option, everyone should find something of interest in these pages.  Above all, enjoy the lighthouses.
