Sandy Hook

Sandy Hook

Perched on the shores of New Jersey, Sandy Hook Lighthouse has been guiding vessels safely into New York Harbor since it was first lit in 1764, making it the oldest continually operating lighthouse in the United States. Originally positioned only 500 feet from the tip of Sandy Hook, the lighthouse now stands a mile and a half inland due to the natural processes of littoral drift. This shift highlights the dynamic nature of the region’s coastline and the importance of the lighthouse as a navigational landmark.

Throughout its history, Sandy Hook Light has served as a critical guide for ships entering one of the busiest harbors in the world. It has witnessed centuries of maritime activity, from the early days of American colonial trade to modern-day shipping. The lighthouse’s resilience in the face of coastal change speaks to its enduring role in safeguarding maritime traffic and ensuring safe passage for mariners along the New Jersey coast.
