Barnegat Lighthouse State Park, State park with lighthouse in Barnegat Light, US.
The 32-acre park features a 172-foot-tall white lighthouse tower, maritime forests, and concrete walkways along the Barnegat Inlet shoreline.
The lighthouse, constructed in 1859, guided ships through dangerous coastal waters near New York Harbor until 1927, when a lightship replaced its function.
The Interpretive Center exhibits explain maritime navigation history, lighthouse technology evolution, and the daily routines of former lighthouse keepers.
Visitors can climb 217 steps to reach the lighthouse top or view live camera feeds from the tower in the center during park hours.
The Maritime Forest Trail passes through one of New Jersey's last remaining maritime forests, providing habitat for numerous coastal bird species.
