The Barnegat Lighthouse State Park, NJ
which is located at the northern end of Long Beach Island is where you will find the famed “Barnegat Jetty”
If you are a birder or bird photographer as I am, this is a must visit destination during the winter. Purple Sandpiper, Dunlin, Ruddy Turnstone, Black-bellied Plover, Sanderling and Herring Gull can all be viewed easily from the jetty.
Horned Lark and Snow Bunting can usually be seen on the sand dunes. In some years Snowy Owls have been spotted on the dunes. The water way is a great place to see Harlequin Ducks, Long-tailed Ducks (formerly called Old Squaw), Common Loons, Red-throated
Loons, Red-breasted Mergansers, Surf Scoters, Black Scoters, Common Eider and Brant.
Last winter I saw several Harbour Seals. I was able to create some great images of a few that were sun bathing on the rocks.
