lighthouse and fleet of fishing boats.
Barnegat inlet can be challenging to say the least. Just north of Barnegat Light is Island Beach State Park. There is no bridge or causeway on the north end of the island. There is a small museum on the boulevard that houses one of the lenses from the lighthouse along with other memorabilia. You can visit the Barnegat Light Historical Society website for more information and to view some of the historic photographs. For more general information your can visit the Barnegat Light website At one time Barnegat Light was the northern end of the railroad that ran on Long Beach Island. There were several hotels such as the Oceanic and Sunset that have long since disappeared.
