Answer 2

The Sandy Hook lighthouse is located at the northern end of New Jersey's Atlantic Coast on the grounds of the Fort Hancock section of Gateway National Recreation area. [phone]
On the New Jersey Parkway (toll road), you will see brown signs for Sandy Hook. Take exit 117 to route 35/36. It will cost you 25 cents to leave the Parkway. Follow route 36 east towards the Atlantic coast following the signs for Sandy Hook or the Navesink Lighthouse. (If you dont see any signs don't panic, just head west and stay on 36.) Route 36 will be a divided highway for a while passing strip malls, offices, used car lots, bars, and bait shops.

At one point the highway will take a long curve to the right and on this curve is a Burger King. After which you will go up hill, and then come down the other side. The road becomes narrower and only one lane of traffic on each side. Soon you will come to a bridge, as you cross the bridge Sandy Hook will stretch northward to your left.

Just before you cross the bridge there are a few small roads on the right. One of these roads goes up the mountain to the Navesink Lighthouse.

Once across the bridge turn left and head North up the road to the gates for Sandy Hook. In winter there is usually no problem proceeding, but in summer the gate may be closed if the Hook becomes over crowded. Stay on the roads to the left side of the hook and head north, you really can't get lost because the hook is small.

Answer 3

Off the tip of Sandy Hook, NJ, is the oldest working lighthouse in the country.

It was designed and built in 1764 by Isaac Conro. The light was built to aid mariners entering the southern end of the New York harbor. It was originally called New York Lighthouse because it was funded through a New York Assembly lottery and a tax on all ships entering the Port of New York. Sandy Hook Light has endured the occupancy of British soldiers during the Revolutionary War and exposure to the elements on the end of Sandy Hook. The view of the New York skyline from the bridge crossing into the Hook illustrates the importance this light played in the history of New York harbor.

Sandy Hook Lighthouse is part of Gateway National Recreation Area at Sandy Hook, NJ. The Sandy Hook Lighthouse was restored in Spring 2000
