Cape May Lighthouse
Cape May, USA
Cape May Lighthouse is a 157-foot tall historic structure built in 1859, marking the entrance to the Delaware Bay. Constructed of sandstone, it stands as a prominent guide for mariners and is one of the few remaining lighthouses that were operated by the U.S. Coast Guard before its automation in 1946.
Climb the 199 steps to the lantern room for sweeping views of the coastline. The surrounding Cape May Point State Park offers scenic nature trails and birdwatching opportunities, especially during migration seasons. The lighthouse closes for winter months, so visiting during spring or summer allows for the best experience.
