East Point Lighthouse
Heislerville, NJ
On the Delaware Bay
Top things to see in the Philadelphia Area before you die.
This is the 2nd NJ “secret beach” I am profiling. It is gorgeous.
As pretty as a postcard at East Point Lighthouse
The East Point Lighthouse is on 10 Lighthouse Rd., but it’s on a dirt road with no sign.
We passed it and went straight to Bay Ave. Which we were glad we did. The views are stunning.

There are some gorgeous bay homes nestled amongst a no outlet road. Take a nice drive down.
We couldn’t believe how quiet and serene the place was. How beautiful the view is looking out on the bay.
Gorgeous view of bay
Another shot.
A serene beauty
We actually walked down Bay Ave. then back to the car. I climbed up a thing of asphalt and saw this below. The gorgeous water.
Old decking
We then got back in the car to check out the lighthouse. There are also beautiful wetlands for nature lovers to seek out the many shorebirds and wildlife.

Now, this is the 2nd oldest standing lighthouse in NJ today. It was built in 1849 and only open to the public for tours a handful of times a year.
Unobstructed Bay Views
Which because of those non-opening hours. It means no crowd. And guess what? They have a gorgeous almost private beach!
The beach at the lighthouse
The water is very clear and much calmer than the ocean.
What a tranquil beauty
Parking is on the dirt road next to the Lighthouse take a few steps away from your car and bam!
Delaware Bay
The calm water 🙂
Ahhh, refreshing, isn’t she?
This could be all yours. Enjoy the serenity. This was on a Saturday during the summer.
This is fabulous everyone! Yup, a huge dork.
Tips: Bring bug spray and you may see horseshoe crabs coming to and fro the water, but that’s about it. Also, bring essentials like food and water. It’s a bit off the beaten path of where it is located.
Serene at the bay, who knew?
