Description
The "New" Cape Henry Lighthouse is a tall black and white structure located on the grounds of Fort Story, a military base in the state of Virginia.
When we visited this lighthouse we were stopped at the gate of Fort Story asked to present ID, and were required to give approval for our vehicle to be searched because we were entering the military base. After we passed inspection we were given permission to go into the base, but must stay on the main road and go no further than the lighthouses.
The new or second Cape Henry Lighthouse was completed in 1881 and sits approximately 350 feet from the first lighthouse. This lighthouse, painted black and white, is maintained and operated by the U.S. Coast Guard, has been automated and remains in service today. It is not open to the public.
