Default Planning trips with Lighthouses close to airports?

Has anyone here ever planned a coastal (eastern US) trip that may take in
lighthouses?
Looking at trying to hop along the coast this summer from Florida (my state)
all along east coast
visiting lighhouses along the way.


Montauk Point Light (http://www.montauklighthouse.com) is only a couple of
miles from Montauk Airport (KMTP). I once flew out there, got a cab into
town, rented bicycles from the bike store, and rode out to the lighthouse.

From there, it's just a quick jump over the Block Island (KBID) to see
Southeast Light (http://www.lighthouse.cc/blockisoutheast/).

No fuel available at either KMTP or KBID, so do some flight planning before
you go.
