Barnegat Lighthouse

Barnegat Light, the second tallest lighthouse in the United States, was commissioned January 1, 1859. The tower light was 165 feet above sea level. It remained a first-class navigational light until August 1927, when the "Barnegat Lightship" was anchored eight miles off the coast. The tower's light was reduced over 80 per cent, but it was not extinguished until January 1944.

Barnegat Light is located on the northern tip of Long Beach Island, next to Barnegat Bay, in Ocean County, in the Shore Region. The Barnegat Lighthouse State Park is included as a maritime site on the New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail.
