Facts

  • Built 1896
  • Fourth Order Fresnel Lens
  • First in US equipped with radio fog signal
Sea Girt Lighthouse is a classic Victorian brick house-style lighthouse, located on Beacon and Ocean Avenues. It was built to fill the 40 mile gap between Navesink and Barnegat Lighthouses and to mark the location of the inlet.

As a way of distinguishing itself from the other lighthouses in the area, Sea Girt's beacon turned red for two seconds out of every six.

The lighthouse was decommisioned in 1945 and has recently been reopened to the public. The interior has been beautifully restored and furnished with historical accuracy and depicts the life of the lighthouse keeper and their family.
