OVERVIEW

Completed in 1857 and designed under George Meade, it is the tallest lighthouse in New Jersey, built to guard an inlet notorious for wrecks such as the 1854 loss of the Powhatan.

REPORTED ACTIVITY

Visitors and staff report whispers, footsteps, and children's laughter in the tower; a lighthouse keeper famously claimed in 1905 to have seen the Jersey Devil atop the light.

VISITING

Open to the public; visitors can climb the tower.
