Highlights
Sole sentinels or lonely lights, whatever your idea of a lighthouse these romantic icons of the coast stand as a testament to our conquering the mighty sea. The coastal lighthouses of New Jersey are famous for a number of reasons, including their roles in the success of major ports like Philadelphia and their strategic value during times of war. The lives saved by these lighthouses are countless both in history and on a daily basis. These lighthouses are not only dotting our shoreline, but also our waterways. To aid ships sailing the treacherous mid-channel of Delaware Bay, a series of lighthouses were constructed in the 19th Century and the early 20th Century. Most of these lighthouses are still operating. All are automated. They stand on pedestals surrounded by water out of sight of land. The Cape May Whale Watcher has been sailing to these extremely historic lighthouses since 1994.

About Cape May
Cape May is a Victorian seaside resort at the southern tip of New Jersey, with painted wooden houses, a lighthouse, wide beaches and famed bird migrations.
Cape May sits at the southern end of New Jersey, where Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic, and is one of the oldest seaside resorts in the United States. A fire in 1878 swept the town and it was rebuilt in a Victorian style, so that hundreds of painted wooden houses with gingerbread trim, towers and wraparound porches now give the whole town the status of a National Historic Landmark. The Washington Street Mall is a pedestrian street of shops and cafés.
