The Lighthouse and Pirate Festival

I admit…I’m a beach lover. If I had my way, I would live along the Atlantic coast for the rest of my life and never get bored. I love everything that has to do with a seaside life. I love the food, culture, buildings, activities, sounds of the waves and everything else that goes along with it.

Every chance we get we take off and go down to our beach house in southern New Jersey. While we are there…we do rest & relax but we also love to go out and play tourist too!

Back in June of 2015 we were down for 2 1/2 weeks and had the time to visit the Hereford Inlet Lighthouse and Pirate Festival. This is a FREE event for locals and tourists to attend! The lighthouse is located in North Wildwood New Jersey.

There are craft booths, art exhibits, food, beverages, live entertainment, etc. You will often see people dressed up in their pirate costumes too! When we were at the festival…that was one of my favorite things to see, amazing costumes!!!

If you’re ever in North Wildwood, Stone Harbor, Avalon or the Cape May area…make sure you pay the Hereford Inlet Lighthouse a visit.

You can tour the lighthouse grounds and beautiful garden areas for free. If you want to tour the inside of the lighthouse, there’s an admission fee. Some of the events that they hold on the grounds are free and others will require a small fee. Regardless, we visit the lighthouse every time we are in town!

We will be attending the 2016 Hereford Inlet Lighthouse Festival and are really looking forward to it. Matter of fact, I’m already counting down the days!
