Now that it is spring, we are all looking for some cool day trips to take with friends and family. It's not quite beach season, so what is there to do here in New Jersey that's, intriguing, historical, picturesque, and great for a perfect photo?

One idea for you to do this spring is to load up the car, grab the camera, grab a coffee and head out to some of the best lighthouses in America that are right here in the Garden State.

We have numerous lighthouses all over the state for you to experience and to climb and get great pics at. "New Jersey is home to 20 lighthouses, including 1 replica, and 2 lightships."

Many of our lighthouses here in New Jersey are historic sites and date back to colonial times. One of my favorites over the years has been Old Barney, which is Barnegat Light, and they have a beautiful park and beach and once again, you can climb Old Barney to get your steps and incline in lol.
