It has beautifully landscaped grounds with numerous floral gardens and butterfly habitats that you can stroll around in for free! There is only a charge if you decide to go inside the lighthouse for a tour. The lighthouse is open year around. The lighthouse is a working lighthouse as well as a museum. The lighthouse was built in 1874. You can read about the history of this lighthouse on their wonderful web site.

Behind the lighthouse and overlooking the bay is a mini cement boardwalk with comfortable park benches that you can sit on and view the ocean and scenery. There is also a nice clean beach behind the lighthouse which is great for a romantic picnic lunch and that beach isn't as crowded as other Wildwood beaches. In addition, there is an old wooden Wildwood row boat in the back that you and your family can sit in for picture taking time.

The photograph above shows the beautiful ocean view behind the lighthouse. We love walking behind the lighthouse on the mini cement boardwalk and trails and we love walking the streets in front of the lighthouse.
