The tour leaves from the Town Dock at Port Washington at 9:45 am on June 11th, a 15 minute walk from the Long Island Railroad train station. We’ll coordinate a group departure from Penn Station for those coming from Manhattan. By boat, you’ll first see the mansions of Long Island’s Gold Coast – modern day mega mansions side by side with the villas of Gilded Age barons. You’ll then pass City Island and the ever-mysterious Hart Island, New York City’s mass graveyard with over 1 million buried souls.
As Execution Rocks lighthouse comes into view, you’ll switch into a motorized rowboat which will bring guests to the island. You’ll be able to climb up to the top of the lighthouse and take in the expansive view of Long Island Sound. Inside the lightkeeper’s house, you’ll the rooms that have been converted into one of the more unique bed and breakfasts in the New York City – which go for $300 per night. We’ll conclude with a picnic on the island.
Over half of the ticket price goes to the Execution Rocks Lighthouse Restoration Project. Ticket includes a light picnic but not train transportation to Port Washington.
