More than 100,000 visitors a year climb to the top of the lighthouse, participating in a century old rite of a visit to the Jersey Shore. For those who choose not to climb, the Oil House contains a fully-accessible visitors' orientation center and a Museum Shop stocked with maritime accessories and memorabilia. The present tower, which is the third documented lighthouse at the southern tip of New Jersey, has always been an attention-getting landmark as well as an aid-to-navigation for mariners.
One of the most unique coastal beaches on the U.S. Eastern Seaboard, Sunset Beach is named for its location at the foot of Sunset Blvd. in Cape May Point at the southernmost tip of the State of New Jersey. From this viewpoint, visitors can view a 100% unobstructed horizon line. Due to the atmospheric conditions caused by the interaction of the bay's sea breezes, the sunsets seen here are among the most brilliant and colorful imaginable. View the concrete ship just off-shore, dine at the outdoor grill, and purchase souvenirs in the gift shops.
