The Lighthouse Challenge of New Jersey 2010

 Lighthouse Tour on The Jersey Shore

The Lighthouse Challenge of New Jersey 2010 is a two-day event along The Jersey Shore on October 16th & 17th, rain or shine; when twelve land-based lighthouses are opened for visitation and climbing; Two Museums displaying the Fresnel lens; One life savings station and an opportunity to take a trip to see the Water lights. 

 

This year you have an opportunity to board the Spirit of New Jersey and head out to the Delaware Bay where you can see the Water Lights firsthand; or come visit the Hereford Inlet and take a challenge break with a wonderful presentation of our water lights, given by our Friends of Delaware Bay Lighthouse Keepers.  During this weekend on The Jersey Shore, the public is invited to visit any or all of the sites along the Challenge route.

 

The Challenge can take you to 15 different locations, from Sand Hook to Barnegat Light to Cape May.  Whichever lighthouse you choose to begin your journey on The Jersey Shore during the Challenge, a trifold souvenir pamphlet will be available for a purchase price of just $1.00. As you visit each lighthouse your souvenir will be stamped as a proof of your visit. This will be your souvenir to commemorate your participation in the event. The lighthouses encourage the public to take advantage of this special weekend to financially support and preserve our maritime history.
