    The tallest lighthouse in New Jersey and the third tallest in the U.S. 228 steps later and you're welcomed by a friendly keeper.

    A romantic dinner at the Absecon Lighthouse followed. Visitors can explore New Jersey’s tallest lighthouse throughout the year and yes, you can even get married there.

    What a great climb. Definitely worth it - the view from the top is spectacular. Also it was on Ghost Hunters - supposedly haunted... 👻

    After you climb the lighthouse, you can use your "I Climbed" card for discounts at the Atlantic City Aquarium, Lucy the Elephant and lots of other local gems!

    It was a very interesting place, but the view left something to be desired. We could see the ocean and that was nice, but you could also see the run down parts of Atlantic city.

    228 steps and we have our card to say we survived that climb. Beautiful view, but the winds do take your breath away.

    Awesome piece of history in our own backyard. Love to climb the steps – the reward is the great view!
