Barnegat-Light is a historic island community located on the northern tip of Long Beach Island, an 18-mile barrier island off the coast of New Jersey that is a popular summer resort destination. Barnegat Light has a rich history as one of New Jersey's leading commercial fishing ports with immediate access to the sea via the Barnegat Inlet. The town offers incredibly beautiful beaches along with an appealing small town ambiance - Barnegat Light is situated on what is considered the "quiet, northern end of the island." The original Barnegat Lighthouse, for which the town is well known, was built in 1824 but had fallen into a state of disrepair by 1855. In 1857-59 the second Barnegat Lighthouse was constructed, and today, it is the central focus of the Barnegat Lighthouse State Park. The lighthouse is 165 feet tall - the second tallest lighthouse in New Jersey. Visitors can climb to the top of the lighthouse for a magnificent view of Long Beach Island, inland New Jersey, Island Beach State Park and the Atlantic Ocean. The Barnegat Light Museum, which is located in a one-room schoolhouse at the corner of 5th Street and Central Avenue, houses the original lens from the lighthouse (built in 1847 in Paris.) Heritage Village showcases 18th-century homes and artifacts from Barnegat's seafaring history. Other attractions include the many beaches and quaint island communities of Long Beach Township, the Long Beach Island Arts and Science Foundation and Fantasy Island Amusement Park in Beach Haven.

Barnegat Light Weather & Climate

East-central New Jersey , along the coast, has a humid subtropical climate with maritime influences. Continental and oceanic influences battle for dominance in the weather patterns on a daily to weekly bases. The coastal zone generally has warmer temperatures than the interior regions in winter. Sea breezes play a major role in the climate, and offer a cooling effect on hot summer days. Coastal storms, often characterized as nor'easters, are most frequent between October and April. These storms bring strong winds and heavy rains. Rarely does a winter go by without at least one significant coastal storm. Tropical storms and hurricanes are also a special concern along the coast, although plenty of warning is given for these types of storms.
