Today was cloudy but not too cold, so we drove 'down the shore' before the rain started, to visit the Absecon Lighthouse.
The lighthouse is located at the north end of Atlantic City, NJ. It is the tallest lighthouse in NJ, and 3rd tallest in the US. We climbed all 228 steps to get the view from the top and see the 1st Order Fresnel Lens. The light was first lit in 1857 and decommissioned in 1933. The lighthouse is 171' tall, but you can barely see it today among all the tall casinos and hotels!
Um, in case you wonder about the picture, my son was holding the keychain up backwards, so it looks like it has no paint. It looks just fine on the other side :)

  • Absecon, NJ Absecon Lighthouse, Atlantic City, NJ. Tallest lighthouse in NJ. Climbed 200+ steps to get the view from the top.

🤭 sooo sorry! Yes, I am embarrassed to say, we still have this TB. At least it is not really lost. We are moving it on, after a long holiday break in NJ.

Took the Cape Meares Lighthouse #1 with me to visit the Jones Point Light. Didn't leave it there because the nearby geocache has been muggled. I figured a visit and a picture would have to suffice. Maybe it'll make its way to other VA lighthouses from where I left it.

  • Visit to the Jones Point Lighthouse Took the lighthouse coin to visit the only river lighthouse in VA
  • Jones Point Lighthouse Sign The Jones Point Light has an interesting history and part of the GW Pkwy National Park

Not many lighthouses in Beavercreek OH where we found the Cape Meares Light coin. I'll move it closer to the coast.
