Tallest masonry lighthouse in NJ and third tallest in the USA.
Amazing structure, for those here not in excellent health it is not recommended to climb it.
I stopped at each landing to let my leg rest and they have literature to read and a window to look out of. The first order Fresnel lens weighs 12,800 lbs, was made in France and the 2 300 watt lightbulbs can be seen 20 miles away.
At the top is a staff person to discuss the lighthouse and is full of wonderful tidbits not in the literature (He is 80 years old and climbs the stairs 4 times a day 5days a week).
Well worth a visit as there is information in the museum below as well.
