Barnegat is a township on an 18-mile barrier island off the coast of the "the Jersey Shore." It lies on the northern tip of Long Beach Island about 50 miles east of Philadelphia, 70 miles south of New York City and only 25 miles north of Atlantic City. This makes Barnegat a prime getaway for city residents during the summer. As of the 2010 census, the population of Barnegat Township was 20,936, but it's quite crowded in the summer with tourists. Barnegat includes Barnegat CDP (a census designated place with a population of 2,817 in the 2010 census.) The borough of Barnegat is bounded by Barnegat Bay on the west, the Atlantic Ocean on the east, the Barnegat Inlet to the north and the community of Loveladies to the South. The original Barnegat Lighthouse, for which the township 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.) Other attractions at Barnegat include the many beaches and beach activities, the Long Beach Island Arts and Science Foundation and Fantasy Island Amusement Park in Beach Haven.

Barnegat 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.
