Description

Join us for an evening climb to the top of the Sandy Hook Lighthouse! See the shimmering lights of Jersey Bayshore, Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan from atop the oldest operating lighthouse in the United States! At the top, stand next to the historic Fresnel lens that has been guiding ships into New York Harbor for over 160 years! - Be prepared to ascend 95 stairs up a spiral staircase and to climb a 9-rung ladder. Visitors must be 48” or taller to participate in the program. (Staff can provide directions to the nearby observation deck, which is open to all and has an accessible ramp.) No reservations necessary; visitors may climb to the top on a first come, first served basis. Free!
