In 1927, the original lens was replaced by a lightship anchored off the coast, but you can still see the original lens at the Barnegat Lighthouse Historical Society’s Museum. Today, the lighthouse shines again with a newer single-beam light that can be seen up to 22 nautical miles away, thanks to [Friends of Barnegat Lighthouse](http://www.friendsofbarnegatlighthouse.org/), who raised the funds. 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. Don’t worry if you’re unable to climb that many steps, as there are four cameras that transmit live images in the nearby Interpretive Center. ## Barnegat Lighthouse Interpretive Center The history of Barnegat Lighthouse is on display in the Park’s newly renovated Interpretive Center. Images and stories describe the vision of Lieutenant George G. Meade, what the lighthouse keeper’s duties entailed, and how lighthouse technology has evolved. There is also a large panel that explains how the local community and federal, state, and local governments work together to protect the lighthouse from erosion and permanent destruction. You will also learn about the ever-changing coastline and the surrounding natural environment. For the hours of operation, please call the park office at 609-494-2016. ## Activities at Barnegat Lighthouse State Park - Maritime Forest Trail – The Park contains one of the last remnants of maritime forest on Long Beach Island. The forest is replete with Black Cherry, Sassafras, Eastern Red Cedar, and American Holly trees, and provides an essential area for migratory birds to rest and feed during their journey. The self-guided loop trail is 1/5 of a mile long – the perfect place to meander along as you take in the sights and sounds of this beautiful forest. 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. You will relish catching striped bass, weakfish, summer flounder, bluefish, tautog, winter flounder, and black sea bass. On the south jetty, a 1,033-foot concrete walkway with handrails provides fishing access for people with disabilities. - Bird Watching – The Park is a wonderful place to observe many [species of birds](http://www.longbeachislandjournal.com/images/resources/Long-Beach-Island-Bird-Checklist.pdf) during the spring and fall migrations, as well wintering waterfowl, like red-breasted mergansers, common eiders, and harlequin ducks. Call the park office for more information about their wintertime waterfowl viewing programs at (609) 494-2016. - Picnicking – Pack a picnic basket and enjoy a peaceful meal outdoors amidst the natural maritime landscape. You will find picnic tables and two shelters along the Barnegat Inlet. - Park Programs – Barnegat Lighthouse State Park provides a variety of Interpretive programs for free, most of which begin in the Interpretive Center.

We provide the important components of a relaxing escape – Convenience, Privacy & Security, Personalized Service and Value. ***CONVENIENCE***: We cater to adults (children over the age of 14 are welcome) and offer uniquely decorated King rooms with a water or Lighthouse view, and a private entrance by your parking space, making it easy to move in for your stay. We offer “Pre-Check In” via text message prior to arrival. This allows for contactless check in if you so choose. The quiet streets by our property mean practically no traffic noise providing a more restful atmosphere and allowing you to enjoy the sights and sounds of the seashore….sailboats,sea breezes, sunsets, seagulls, just outside your window. Larger hotels in our area are often located on main highways and your view may include oncoming or departing traffic. With just 8 units there are generally no more than 16 guests on premise. And your innkeeper is on call 24/7 to correct anything affecting your comfort. Three local restaurant/bars are within a short walk but not on premise so we don’t get the noise of a restaurant. And our patrons are permitted to bring their own food and drink to our lovely rooftop deck or by the pool. A mini refrigerator and microwave are available in all our rooms. ***PRIVACY & SECURITY:*** Besides private entrances to all units, our facility is not accessible to the public. All entrances are locked and our registered guests are given the codes. This extra feature keeps our guest areas exclusive to our registered guests, unlike larger hotels that may have restaurants, meetings or events going on with an influx of visitors not actually staying there. ***PERSONAL ATTENTION:*** Upon check in, or as soon as possible thereafter, each guest is offered a personal tour of the facility where the innkeeper goes over information about the Sand Castle, the local area and the features of your room. Via text message you’ll have round-the-clock access for any questions to be answered. ***VALUE:*** *No hidden Fees* This is perhaps the most important feature to consider. Our room rate includes every amenity we offer. No upcharge for parking here and it is self parking, not valet so you always have immediate access to your vehicle. Our breakfast is included and home cooked. All baked goods are baked in our ovens. Complimentary tea/coffee & soft drinks are available 24/7. Wifi is free, bicycle rentals are free, beach chairs, towels, passes and umbrella are free. The outdoor pool is heated (mid-May thru mid- September) and is open from sunrise to dusk. We have a pool side fitness area too. Our beautiful common areas include a cozy lounge, diningroom and sun porch all with a coastal chic decor. These are available to guests 24/7. A court yard with plenty of pool side seating and roof top deck with tables and lounge chairs. If you forgot a book to read, no worries, we have a bookcase full of books to borrow plus many exclusively about LBI. There is also a library of DVD movies and a DVD player in each room( yes “old school”), as well as popcorn to go with the movies! In conclusion, getting time away is a precious commodity and an investment. I hope this helps you sort through the different choices when it comes to your chance for rest and relaxation. And I hope you choose the Sand Castle!

Our fishermen are bold, independent, hard-working men who have a special love of life on the ocean and the challenge of making a living out there. Some of the boats specialize in catching swordfish and the Discovery Channel has focused its efforts on filming several east coast boats in a new series called “Swords”. One of the boats featured on the show is called the “[Frances Anne](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057055886295)“, and is owned by the son of my friends, Don & Fran Mears. Don taught his sons well over the years, not only about how to catch fish, but also how to be gentlemen of the sea, respecting other vessels as well as mother nature.

After calling Barnegat Light their home away from home for years, Audrey and her husband Brian moved here permanently to become the Innkeepers at the breezy bayfront bed and breakfast. After a career in customer and event service, Audrey is dedicated to continuing the detailed features that have distinguished The Sand Castle Bed & Breakfast as a unique treasure for decades. Consider it a “mini-resort” with private room entrances and dining areas, a rooftop deck for lounging or watching the sun rise and set and a large swimming pool in the courtyard. Upscale accommodations along with complimentary beach passes, chairs, towels and bikes make for a seamless transition from your hectic schedule to life on Long Beach Island. During your stay make sure to catch a sunrise, soak in a sunset, and leave your footprints in the sand. Audrey & Brian Policies During peak season (July-mid-September) weekend minimum stays are two to three nights, depending on room and date. Mid-week is a two-night minimum; however, occasional one-night openings may be available. Off-season, a two-night minimum stay is required on all weekends, and one-night minimum midweek.
