点评:History:
Barnegat Lighthouse, locally known as “Old Barney,” is situated on the precarious northern tip of Long Beach Island, NJ, and was originally lit in 1859. Coastal vessels heading to and from New York relied heavily on the lighthouse to protect them from the point’s dangerous shoals, swift currents, and shifting sandbars.
Visitors can climb 217 steps to the top of this maritime specimen for a breathtaking panoramic view of Island Beach, Barnegat Bay, and Long Beach Island.
Lighthouse is not the only thing here, there are also a couple of activities that you can do while you are here
Maritime Forest Trail - The self-guided loop trail is 0.2 miles long, with forest, and migratory birds. Interpretive signs explain the birds and plants you may see during your stroll.
Fishing – If fishing is your game, be sure to bring your gear and head to the bulkhead near the picnic area
Bird watching, picnics, and more...
A few blocks away, you can visit the Barnegat Light Museum, which we didn’t have the opportunity to see but it’s still worth checking out
If you were picturing an area of a lighthouse with beautiful glistening blue-green water, then visiting the Barnegat Lighthouse should be a stop you should make down here in southern New Jersey.

巴尼加特灯塔,当地人称为“老巴尼”,位于新泽西州长滩岛的北端,最初于 1859 年点亮。进出纽约的沿海船只严重依赖灯塔来保护它们免受海浪袭击。这里有危险的浅滩、湍急的水流和移动的沙洲。
游客可以爬 217 级台阶到达这座海洋标本的顶部,欣赏岛屿海滩、巴尼加特湾和长滩岛的壮丽全景。
灯塔并不是这里唯一的景点,您还可以在这里进行一些活动
海上森林步道 - 自助环路步道长 0.2 英里,有森林和候鸟。解说标志解释了您在散步时可能看到的鸟类和植物。
钓鱼 - 如果您喜欢钓鱼,请务必携带您的装备并前往野餐区附近的舱壁
观鸟、野餐等等......
几个街区之外,您可以参观巴尼加特灯光博物馆,我们没有机会参观,但仍然值得一看
如果您想象的是灯塔区域有美丽的闪闪发光的蓝绿色海水,那么参观巴尼加特灯塔应该是您在新泽西州南部的一站。
