Description
Although dozens of lighthouses were built along the Atlantic seaboard, a long stretch of the New Jersey coastline remained dark until the Lighthouse Board recommended construction of a lighthouse about half way from Sandy Hook to Barnegat Inlet. Here, just north of Manasquan Inlet, the site of Wreck Pond was chosen for the new light station. Completed in 1896, the Sea Girt Light Station incorporated a 44 foot square tower, complete with a fourth-order French lens. The keeper's quarters followed a vernacular Victorian style, incorporating a two story L-shaped floor plan, and shaded by wrap-around covered porches.
