dc.descriptionThe Cape May Lighthouse was built in 1859, automated in 1946, and continues operation to this day. The tower is 157 feet 6 inches high and has a 217 step cast iron spiral staircase. Its walls were designed to withstand winds several times above hurricane force. It is New Jersey's most visited lighthouse with over nearly 100,000 visitors a year climbing to the top of the building. Since it was opened to the public in 1988, more than 2.5 million visitors have climbed to the top.
