Sandy Hook Lighthouse was erected to help vessels navigate through stormy waters. Still a distinguished local landmark today, it's sure to have some tales to tell about sailing successes and tragedies.
Sandy Hook Lighthouse is a great place kick off your day in Highlands. This longstanding beacon is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Allow time for other sights like Sandy Hook Gateway National Recreation Area, Monmouth County Beach, and Mount Mitchell Scenic Overlook to really enjoy what's on offer in the area.
