Cape May Lighthouse

Perched within Cape May Point State Park, the Cape May Lighthouse stands as a testament to 19th-century maritime history. This operational lighthouse, with its 199-step spiral stairway, offers panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay. Visitors can ascend the stairs to reach the top, where they are rewarded with sweeping vistas. Along the way, interpretive panels provide insights into the lives of the lighthouse keepers, the region’s history, and the lighthouse’s ongoing role in navigation. The structure’s enduring presence continues to guide mariners and captivate visitors alike.
