Lighthouse Weekend Signature Boat Tour to Sandy Hook and Twin Lights
2025-08-03 11:00 - 14:00 | National Lighthouse Museum, 200 The Promenade at Lighthouse Point, Staten Island, NY, 10301
Lighthouse Weekend Signature Tour to Sandy Hook & Twin Lights
Sunday, August 3 @ 11:00 am – 2:00 pm
Popularly regarded as NLM’s “SIGNATURE TOUR” this exciting boat tour, familiarizes passengers with (9) key lighthouses that facilitate safe passage from the Atlantic Ocean into Lower New York Harbor. The series will be NARRATED by Wade R. Goria. Wade is a National Lighthouse Museum historian, author, and former New York University professor.
We explore a total of NINE LIGHTHOUSES: Battery Weed Light located atop Fort Wadsworth, the Coney Island Lighthouse, West Bank and Romer Shoals Lighthouses, the Sandy Hook Light, The Twin Lighthouses of Navesink at Atlantic Highlands, the Staten Island Rear Range at Richmond Hill, the New Dorp Light, and the Elm Tree Beacon at Miller Field, also located in New Dorp.
After sailing past historic Forts Wadsworth and Hamilton at the Narrows, we head under the Verrazano Bridge passing the former Quarantine stations of Hoffman and Swinburne Islands.
Enroute to the Sandy Hook Light, situated near the tip of an eight mile spit at Fort Hancock, a coastal defense base that once guarded the approach of NY Harbor, we learn about the role that this proud and historic beacon has played on behalf of NYC’s maritime trade and its commerce over the centuries.
Cruising on the Ambrose Channel, Sandy Hook Bay and the Shrewsbury River we journey along the ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS past the towns of Keyport and Leonardo, home to Naval Weapons Station Earle and the world’s longest pier as well as Mount Mitchill, the highest point on the Atlantic coast from Maine to the Yucatan in Mexico. The Atlantic Highlands is home to one of the most spectacular lighthouses in America: the Navesink Twin Light Station, the very first structure in America witnessed by immigrants following an Atlantic crossing.
Upon our return along the Ambrose Channel into Lower New York Bay, we head near to the Coney Island Lighthouse at Norton’s Point in Seagate, Coney Island, where famed Keeper Frank Schubert, NYC’s last Light Keeper, resided for 40 years.
Tickets are non-refundable.
Adults $65 Children Under 12 $45

Bring a picnic blanket, friends and family to Transmitter Park on the gorgeous Greenpoint waterfront. Get your FREE tickets here. Come early and have an awesome time!

Safety considerations:

Please keep your fur-babies at home, for everyone’s sake. SummerStarz does not allow any pets at our movie nights. The movie nights are popular and can very crowded. It can be a safety issue for your dogs and people, especially children.

Please take out of the park everything that you bring in. Let’s not encourage the rats with leftovers and dirty containers.

Please get a free ticket through Eventbrite so that we’ll be able to contact you if needed.

Movies on the Waterfront: Clueless (Hunter's Point South Park)
2025-08-01 19:45 - 21:30 | Hunter’s Point South Park
The Conservancy’s first ever free event in the Hunter’s Point South Park was a 2014 screening of Julie & Julia and since then our CinemaLIC movie series has become a flagship program. These movie nights bring out hundreds of people of all ages to the park. Each year we show five family-friendly movies on the large inflatable screen, with the NYC skyline as a backdrop.
The Conversancy will show Clueless on August 1st, sponsored by TF Cornerstone.
All movies start at sunset. Bring your blankets early to get a good spot, as last year several of the movie nights brought out over 1,000 people.
