This Virginia Beach icon was established in 1791, making it the country's oldest government built lighthouse. The lighthouse's storied career spanned nearly 100 years, beginning with its contribution to safe commerce on the Southeastern coast. Located near the site where the first English settlers landed in 1607, the lighthouse sustained damage during the Civil War but was later restored. A trip to the top of the structure promises one of the area's best views. Gift shop. Tours available. The Lighthouse is closed but the Museum Shop is open from December 1 to January 5.
