Barnegat Lighthouse State Park

 Leaving Brigantine late morning it was about a 45 minute drive North up the Garden State Parkway to Long Beach Island. Barnegat Light is at the extreme North end of Long Beach Island and seems to take forever to get there once you've crossed the bridge. Once there its a 0.7mile walk across the sand to get nearer the end of the Jetty or you go rock hopping across the huge 'flat' topped borders that form the jetty. Notice I put the word flat in apostrophe's. They're not flat but you can hop over the gaps between them and if you watch where you're putting your feet and avoid wet and slimy area's you might survive if you're lucky.

It was a good day and I survived.
