Women of Atlantic County please hear me: Absecon Lighthouse is a “must-do” family outing.

The Inlet in Atlantic City is a neighborhood in transition. It is bustling with activity as children pass by the lighthouse on their way to school, moms anddads push baby strollers, anglers stop by Noel’s Bait & Tackle to stock up on bait, and the Revel Entertainment construction project develops right before our eyes, just one block away.

We enjoy a safe, clean environment with a free museum and exhibits, and free parking. Kids enjoy sitting in a lifesaving boat for a photo with the Lighthouse behind them. Take the time to enjoy the charming gift shop, and have a picnic on our two-acre lawn.

Most importantly, the highlight of your day will be to take a thrilling climb to the top of the light to see the spectacular 360-degree view of Atlantic City. No other Atlantic City building shares our VIEW! The Absecon Lighthouse is New Jersey’s tallest lighthouse and the country’s third tallest lighthouse. Visitors frequently remark, “I had no idea how beautiful this is.”

I am personally inviting you to see for yourselves what a magnificent historical and cultural gem is right here in our own backyard. Please clip the coupon on this page and enjoy your visit.
