On the north end of Long Beach Island, is Barnegat Light. Not a large town, but it has the largest icon on the island, "Old Barney".
Old Barney is a red and white lighthouse that was designed by General George Meade. It is the second largest lighthouse in the United States standing 172 tall. Old Barney sits on the Barnegat Lighthouse State park. The lighthouse is a favorite of photographers and artists.
The state park offers fishing fans a perfect place to go and bird watchers enjoy all the flocks of migrating shorebirds.
So the next time you come "down the shore" don't forget to stop at Old Barney and climb to the top. It's a favorite past time of the young and the old.
