An Outdoor Adventure for Everyone


Atlantic City, NJ is the city created to escape the average city. A lot of people come here for the casinos, the restaurants, the shopping and the entertainment -- and we can’t blame them. But as with all things, moderation is key, and some of Atlantic City’s most memorable experiences don’t have four walls around them. You can learn to surf, give sea kayaking a try, go for a sunrise run on the beach, charter a sport fishing boat and guide or enjoy a bike ride on the world-famous Boardwalk. Golfers of every skill level have their pick of more than a dozen superb golf courses in the surrounding Atlantic City area. Atlantic City's temperate coastal climate also means good weather for much of the year, so you can spend more time outside.

Funded by grants from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority & NJ Department of Transportation's Transportation Enhancement Program, the site work phase restored many characteristic features of the historic grounds. Now visitors can enjoy strolling the 2-acre property, visiting the Keeper's Cottage museum and gift shop, and climbing the 228 steps to the top of the lighthouse. Keepers are on duty and share with visitors the magnificent 360 view of the Jersey shore, and the magnificent 1854 First-Order Fresnel lens in the lantern above.
