Description
CAPE CHARLES
Atlantic Ocean
Cape Charles, VA
This skeletal tower is located off shore on Smith Island on Virginia’s lower Eastern Shore. A boat trip is the only way to reach this light that marks the northern entrance to the Chesapeake Bay. The tower is 180 feet above the water and was built in 1894 for an astounding sum of $150,000, a small fortune for that time. This is the third light at this location, the first was built in 1828, and the second in 1864.
