Cape May is a city at the southern tip of Cape May Peninsula in Cape May County, New Jersey, where the Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean. The Cape May Lighthouse is located in Cape May Point State Park, Lower Township, on the Jersey Shore. Built in 1859, nearly 100,000 visitors a year climb the 199 stairs to the top and enjoy a panoramic view of the ocean and bay. There are also moonlight climbs throughout the year, along with a visitor center and museum shop that makes the experience educational as well as entertaining.
It stands on the southern tip of New Jersey
The Cape May Lighthouse is also still active today. The United States Coast Guard continues to operate the light to aid ships in navigation around the Cape May Area. The light of the current lighthouse is visible for 24 nautical mils and flashes at an interval of every 15 seconds.
