The 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 owned and operated by Preservation Virginia and is a National Historic Landmark, serving as the official symbol for the City of Virginia Beach.
