Lighthouse Lovers Soon Will Be Able To Crash The (Sea)Gate

The Coney Island Lighthouse in the ultra-exclusive — or at least gated — Seagate neighborhood will be opened for public tours for the first time ever:

Brooklyn’s oldest lighthouse could be opened to the public for the first time in its 116-year history, the Daily News has learned.

The Seagate Association signed a five-year lease on the 80-foot-tall lighthouse this month, ending a century-long ownership by the U.S. Coast Guard and a ban on public tours.

“There are millions of lighthouse lovers from all over the world who have heard about this lighthouse and would love to see it but have never had the chance,” said Seagate Association Treasurer Michael Breslof.

By next summer, the association could begin hosting tours of the Beach 46th St. tower and a nearby home, where light keeper Frank Schubert lived until his death in 2003.

The tours would cost about $5 and would include visits to Schubert’s home at the foot of the tower, which is known both as the Coney Island Lighthouse and Norton’s Point Lighthouse.
