The Kings Point Light is a private lighthouse owned and operated by the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York. It is the lighthouse on top of the chapel that shines as a way to bring wayfaring sailors back home from at sea and students back from Long Island Sound, also known as the Play Pen.
