Lighthouse Tours in Barnegat Light
Lighthouse country: Barnegat Light is within striking distance of climbable lights whose keepers' logs go back to the age of sail. Climb early for empty stairs, or late in the day for the photographer's light — and check winter hours, since several lights close or shorten them off-season.
