Barnegat Lighthouse State Park, Barnegat Light (Ocean County)


The Barnegat Lighthouse is located at the northern end of Long Beach Island. It was regarded as one of the most crucial “change of course” points for coastal vessels. Vessels bond to and from New York along the New Jersey coastline depended on Barnegat Lighthouse to avoid the shoals extending from the shoreline. The swift currents, shifting sandbars, and the offshore shoals challenged the skills of even the most experienced sailor. The park is 32 acres created in 1957 and you can climb to the light keepers catwalk
