2004 replica of 1886 lighthouse. Active (privately maintained and unofficial). 1-story square wood keeper's cottage with lantern and gallery centered on the roof. A reproduction of the original 4th order Fresnel lens is in use. 1942 fog bell (from a bell buoy). This lighthouse was built by a resort developer after very careful research; it is considered to be a faithful reproduction. The Coast Guard has a historic photo of the original lighthouse, which was deactivated and demolished in 1962. The replica was constructed in an artificial pond just off the beach and adjacent to a golf course on Old Plantation Creek, about 2 miles (3.2 km) from the original location. The building houses a collection of lighthouse artifacts. Located off VA 184 near the town of Cape Charles.
