Sea Girt Lighthouse and its collection

Sea Girt Lighthouse
Source

The Sea Girt Light, located in Sea Girt, New Jersey, is a decommissioned lighthouse that once marked the inlet leading to the Wreck Pond. This historic structure is a significant part of the local landscape and offers a glimpse into the maritime history of the region.

Restoration and Current Use of Sea Girt Light

In 1980, the Sea Girt Lighthouse Citizens Committee, an independent non-profit organization, took over the care of the lighthouse building. They successfully restored the building, which is now open for tours and various meetings. The beacon was removed from the external tower and placed in the old lantern, which now serves as a private aid to navigation.

  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    Sea Girt Lighthouse offers visitors a glimpse into maritime history and the life of lighthouse keepers. The well-maintained structure, dating back to 1896, is located on the New Jersey shore. Visitors appreciate the informative tours led by knowledgeable volunteers who share interesting facts about the lighthouse's history and operation. The climb to the top provides panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding coastline. However, some visitors note that the exhibit space is relatively small, and the tour might be too brief for those expecting a more extensive experience. The lighthouse's location in a residential area adds to its charm but may limit parking options during peak times. Overall, Sea Girt Lighthouse is a pleasant stop for those interested in local history and maritime heritage, offering a concise but educational experience.
