- Overview
Barnegat Lighthouse State Park is located on the northern tip of Long Beach Island in Ocean County , New Jersey, United States. The area where the lighthouse stands was regarded as one of the most important navigational points for ships bound to and from New York Harbor. The ships were dependent upon the Barnegat Lighthouse to avoid the shoals extending from the shoreline. The swift currents, shifting sandbars, and offshore shoals challenged the skills of even the most experienced sailors. The park is included as a maritime site on the New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail . The park is operated and maintained by the New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry.[1]
