Old Point Comfort Light

A look behind me from the beach is the Light


Old Point Comfort Light




Beautiful light house and it's in between private homes now. I carefully walked around it so not to disturb homeowners.


Peeling paint and some work looks like it needs to be done to preserve it.




You can see a glow from the light a little bit if you look close

now a walk down further to take a closer look at the Fort

How wonderful to visit the old lighthouse, such a shame that they are all automated these days.

It’s beautiful and I’m sure saved lives in its day.

I love lighthouses and have fond memories of this one, Betsy! I love going up in them if it is allowed. Old Point Comfort Light needs some love and hopefully soon. ♥

Dearest Betsy,
What a beautiful Lighthouse and great history.
Let's hope they will find the funds for the upkeep so it will last many more years for people to admire and to photograph.
Thanks for sharing!
Hugs,
Mariette

I'd like to see it. Haven't been to Fort Monroe since they decommissioned it.
