Learn more about the historic Sea Girt Lighthouse, an excellent place to tour when you stay at the New Jersey Shore in Sea Girt NJ.  The historic Sea Girt Lighthouse began to warn sailors of the
shoreline at Sea Girt Beach along the New Jersey Shore when it
flashed its first light on December 10, 1896. Before this,
mariners who lived around the New Jersey Shore ports had
pleaded for a Sea Girt Lighthouse because the
town at Sea Girt
Beach was situated in a unique blind spot in between Barnegat
and Navesink Lighthouses creating a 45 mile stretch of dark sea
at night. This dark region was easily illuminated after the
construction of the Sea Girt Lighthouse with its massive tower;
the tower’s peak rose 60 feet above sea level and it came
equipped with a fourth order Fresnel lens. The lens was lighted
by a kerosene lamp and weights dropped down a shaft, similar to
the engineering inside a grandfather clock, that caused the lens
to revolve. The light stayed lit constantly, however the Sea
Girt Lighthouse seemed to blink on and off as light bounced from
one prism to the next as the lens slowly turned around and
around causing the beacon to flash every two to six
seconds. The beacon lamp could be seen for 16 miles out to sea.
Visit the Sea Girt Lighthouse, a historic and romantic place
while on Romantic Getaways New Jersey Shore. The Beacon House, a
Sea Girt Inn, is located just minutes from the Sea Girt
Lighthouse. In addition to being a lifesaver to many passing ships, the Sea
Girt Lighthouse is unique in its many distinctions. The Sea Girt
Lighthouse was the last live-in lighthouse built in the United
States; historically, the first lighthouses in the colonies were
lighthouses in which the lighthouse keeper and their family
lived as well. In 1921, the Sea Girt Lighthouse was one of 3
lighthouses to be chosen to test and try out the first radio
beacon navigation technology system. The first radio beacons
were installed at the Sea Girt Lighthouse and two other
lighthouses in the surrounding New Jersey Shore and New York harbor region,
and ships would locate their positions by triangulating and
tracking the radio signals of the three radio beacon
installations. This ground breaking technology was the precursor
of the LORAN system, which we still use today.Today, the Sea Girt Lighthouse is one of only 20 surviving New Jersey Lighthouses. Stop by the Sea Girt Lighthouse on Sundays for the famous Sea Girt Lighthouse tours. Tours generally begin in the early spring just before the regular Jersey Shore Vacation season and are given every Sunday between 2pm and 4pm through November 22.
