The lighthouse was initially lit on Januand was eventually deactivated in 1933. It’s located at Vermont and Pacific Avenues, and standing at 171 feet (52m) it is the tallest lighthouse in New Jersey. This past weekend we were near Atlantic City and had no plans to visit a casino but instead we decided to visit the Absecon Lighthouse which is located at the north end of AC. They are just so beautiful to look at and learning about their history is equally as entertaining. Luckily being on the east cost we have quite a few lighthouses up and down the state and I’m pretty sure I’ve visited them all at least twice. I’m not really sure why as I have an extreme fear of heights but always insist of walking up the twisted staircases to look out the top. I have a bit of a confession I’m obsessed with Lighthouses.
