The tower no longer serves as a light for ships. A steel skeleton tower on the shore at Leonardo, the front light of the Chapel Hill Range until 1988; Middletown Township looks after it.

How to see it

Above water and inside the horizon from North Beach Observation Deck, Sandy Hook, 7.1 km (4.4 mi) away, so on a clear day it can be seen from there, and CoastFinder puts a label on it.

On the website for now. New Jersey's lighthouses are in the web viewer first, and they are coming to the CoastFinder app, which covers the North Carolina coast today. Follow @coastfinderapp to hear when New Jersey arrives.
