Cape May Lighthouse
Cape May Lighthouse, situated at the southern tip of New Jersey in Cape May Point State Park, is an iconic 1859 structure perfect for coastal and architectural photography. Standing 157 feet tall, this towering, red-topped lighthouse offers photographers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, Delaware Bay, and surrounding natural landscapes. Its white and red exterior contrasts beautifully with the blue sky and green marshes, especially during golden hour. Visitors can climb to the top for panoramic shots of Cape May’s sandy beaches, migrating birds, and dunes below. The lighthouse grounds are also picturesque, with pathways through sand dunes, wild grasses, and observation points that capture the full coastal ambiance. Accessible and rich with history, Cape May Lighthouse is a must-visit for those looking to photograph the timeless beauty of the Jersey Shore. (Cape May, NJ, USA)
