East Point Lighthouse NJ

 


The East Point Lighthouse is the second oldest lighthouse in New Jersey. It's located on the eastern shore of Maurice River Cove.

Built in 1849, the lighthouse is the only onshore lighthouse on the Delaware Bay.



The Lighthouse is in Heislerville, Cumberland County NJ.

It was formerly named Maurice Lighthouse. Locals pronounce Maurice as MOR-iss.

Nearby

There's a sandy beach

And marshes where you see Ospreys and other birds.

Cape May New Jersey


 Cape May New Jersey claims to be the nation's oldest Seaside resort.


I've been there many times over the years--I lived in South Jersey for 14 years and I go back to the Jersey Shore from time to time.

There's a promenade along the beach. Opposite are shops, restaurants, and Victorian style B&Bs. I took this video 10 June 2021.



The beach is fine; however, I usually go to Ocean City for my back to the beach time.







Not far from the beach is Cape May Point State Park. There's an old lighthouse you can climb.



Opposite the lighthouse is a wildlife refuge and boardwalk trails.




Just north of the beach area is a small town. In the summers, the shops can be crowded.



One activity I've done a few times is ride the ferry from Cape May across the bay to Delaware. It's a quite and relaxing low cost ride.


Notes
Cape May and the nearby towns are worth visiting if you are in the area.
There were clean toilets for visitors when we were there in June 2021.
Lodging can be expensive but for some, the unique architecture may be worth it.
You'll find better prices on seafood and NJ subs in town away from the tourist areas. There is an exception. One family favorite is Uncle Bills Pancake House. I don't get paid for this. Here's the 2021 lunch menu.
