Standing tall in Atlantic City, the Absecon Lighthouse is the tallest in New Jersey, offering panoramic views of the coast from its summit, accessible via a 228-step climb. Originally built in 1857, the lighthouse has been decommissioned since 1933, yet its light still illuminates the night. Within the grounds, visitors can explore a replica of the lightkeeper’s dwelling, a museum with historical displays, and a gift shop. The site also features a garden, adding a touch of greenery to the historic setting.
