The Montauk point Lighthouse







If you drive as far as you can drive on the southern route on 27 you will run right into the lighthouse. This lighthouse first one built in New York and constructed in 1796 ordered built by the 1st President George Washington. This is the end of the road as you have now reached the Atlantic Ocean. This spot on the Atlantic has a long history from the Indians to the Revolution war when the British held this spot. I was able to take a few pictures and there were lots of boats and shore fisherman. I read a book a few years ago about fishing up in this area and I am going to guess the strippers are running and that is what they are fishing for. This is a very nice and great place for some photography and will share a few of the pictures over the next few days.

The guys fishing wear metal cleats on there shoes for this rock fishing. Then you have the ones wading and I am sure that is a little cold and even with there waders.
