We saw 3 more lighthouses today.
The East Point lighthouse is on the Delaware River. It’s way out a narrow road that has plank bridges. On the way back there was water in the road (1st time today- it happened a few more times) It was almost high tide. From the shore we could see three shoal lights.
It was almost an hour back to the Cape May Lighthouse. It was a nice day for a drive and we were on roads we’d never before traveled.
The lighthouse is part of the state park. From the Cape May ligthouse we could see the concrete boat I'd read about. Also on the beach at Cape May there is a cement building (top right of
picture). Bob asked, and he was right, it was a WW2 bunker. At that time it was
totally covered in sand and they had to keep the entrances from either side shoveled out..Our third and final light of the day was on Wildwood Island. There was lots of minor flooding covering a couple parking lots and parts of the road onto the island – we had just crossed the drawbridge and had no choice but to drive through it. We then headed north and drove through a fairly deserted Wildwood and North Wildwood. The Hereford Inlet Lighthouse looks like another Victorian House at first. There are beautiful gardens both in front and Oceanside.
I had only planned on three lighthouses for this part of the trip (I have such a nice husband and driver ;) ). And we have buttons from each lighthouse we visited.
