Lighthouses in New Jersey is an itinerary along the coast of New Jersey.

Understand

[edit]

The New Jersey Lighthouse Challenge occurs every October, which involves visiting all the lighthouses of the Jersey Shore and some on the Delaware Bay, along with a few lifesaving stations.

Some of these lighthouses are no longer functional.

Prepare

[edit]

Many of these lighthouses are on land and could be reached by car; however, some of these are in the open ocean and require a boat to visit.

Get in

[edit]

Both New York City and Philadelphia are near the endpoints of the coastal route.
