East Point Light, Lighthouse in Maurice River Township, New Jersey
The white lighthouse structure rises 36 feet above the Delaware Bay with a beacon that operates each night to guide maritime vessels.
Built in 1849, East Point Light stands as the second oldest lighthouse in New Jersey, after Sandy Hook Light constructed in 1764.
The Maurice River Historical Society maintains this coastal landmark, contributing to maritime education and preservation for over five decades.
The lighthouse faces constant erosion threats, with protective measures including sandbags and a planned geotube system by New Jersey authorities.
During severe storms, waves reach within 10 yards of the lighthouse steps, demonstrating the structure's vulnerability to coastal elements.
