The tower was first lit in 1871 and no longer serves as a light for ships. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A limestone tower and keeper's house on the point at Sodus Bay, dark since 1901 and now the Sodus Bay Lighthouse Museum.

How to see it

Above water and inside the horizon from Sodus Point Beach Park, 870 m (2,855 ft) away, so on a clear day it can be seen from there, and CoastFinder puts a label on it.

On the website for now. New York's lighthouses are in the web viewer first, and they are coming to the CoastFinder app, which covers the North Carolina coast today. Follow @coastfinderapp to hear when New York arrives.
