Assateague Island, Virginia, USA

A fresh coat of paint livens up the Assateague Island Light, which still functions as an aid to coastal navigation in the shoaling waters off the Delmarva Peninsula. A beacon was originally located here in 1833 to fill the gap between the lighthouses at Cape Henlopen to the north and Cape Charles to the south. [1999]
