With a panoramic view of beautiful Island Beach, Barnegat Bay, and Long Beach Island, Barnegat Lighthouse, or "Old Barney" stands at 165 feet tall and has been symbol of New Jersey's proud maritime heritage since it was built in 1835.

Hours and fees: The lighthouse is open daily from 10 AM to 4:30 PM (weather permitting) from Memorial Day through Labor Day. There is a $3 fee per person to enter the lighthouse from Memorial Day through Labor Day. There is a $1 fee for children ages 6 to 11 and children ages 5 and under are free (must be accompanied by an adult).

Visitors can also catch the views from the top without climbing the 217 steps thanks to four cameras that transmit live images of the view to a display in the adjacent Interpretive Center.
