Assateague Lighthouse light

The Assateague Lighthouse has a distinctive sequence of light shining, a double flash, which sets it apart from other east coast lighthouses. An automatic timer starts the process each evening. Visitors can get a close-up view of the twin rotating lights and the surrounding area. Access to the top of the lighthouse is permitted seven days a week from June to September.
