The Old Cape
Henry Lighthouse was built in 1792.
It started to crack in 1870 and was
replaced with the new Cape Henry Lighthouse
only 357 feet away, which is an active
aid to navigation and operated by
the U.S. Coast Guard. The Old Cape
Henry Lighthouse is maintained by
the APVA and is a National Historic
Landmark, serving as the official
symbol for the City of Virginia Beach.
The Cape Henry
Lighthouse is located within Fort
Story military base. To visit the
lighthouse, you must pass through
the security gates of Fort Story.
Please call the Lighthouse before
visiting as requirements for identification
may change from day to day.
