This light house is exactly take half an hour from Atlantic City. This lighthouse was built in 1859. The site included not only the lighthouse and oil house, but dwelling houses, a barn and stable, a storehouse, vegetable and flower gardens, privies and a water works. There is one museum just beside the lighthouse where you can see snakes, baby painted turtle, sea animals.
The trails allow access to the beach at both ends. But the beach can be a looooong walk through the soft sand to the parking lot if you get out at the far end of the trail, especially if you have little ones. If you want the beach, better to use the access right at the parking lot.
Nice elevated viewing areas for bird watching and ocean views. There are paths for exploring nature. Light House is open to public, but for a fee. There is a water station which also accommodates your dog. Dogs on leash are welcome, but not in all areas. Information building, rest rooms, picnic areas available. Well maintained pleasant area for a relaxing visit.
The small museum is free and they offer good insight to local history and the animals of the local ecosystem. The park offers loads of hikes and birds watching events if you check their website.
Small fee to climb the lighthouse but it's the best view around.
The beach is easily accessible from the parking lot but it's a good distance to the water. Nice beach for sun and getting in the water.
There are several trails through the wetlands and those have plenty of shaded areas, but as they get close to the beach, there's no cover. The trail has long sections of elevated boardwalks wide enough for a wheelchair in the wettest places so you can walk most of them even after a rain. No ramps further in though. There are lots of sandy areas that can be a bit soft and are fine to walk but aren't really wheelchair friendly.
There are restrooms (buildings, not port-a-johnny's) and water fountains by the lighthouse parking lot too. No fountains or bathrooms in the trails though.
Beautiful Everything is so clean. My Wife and I are going back again in the future. Beautiful picture location. What a Special Sunrise
There are some lawn areas where you can picnic but you'll want to bring your own shade.
We stopped here for a break on a bike ride from Wildwood. Cool park! Very clean and well kept. There were picnic tables which made for a nice resting place. Nice to check out.
