Hereford Inlet Lighthouse in North Wildwood

Location
The Hereford Inlet Lighthouse, 111 N Central Ave, North Wildwood, NJ 08260
Date photographed

The Hereford Inlet Lighthouse commands the corner of North Central Avenue in North Wildwood with the kind of presence that stops you mid-walk. Its butter-yellow tower rises from a compact Victorian keeper's cottage, the brick chimney and dark shingles grounding the structure against the bright paint. The white picket fence frames the property like a postcard, and on this August afternoon, the sky opened up in shades of blue and white—the kind of clarity that makes the lighthouse's colors seem almost too vivid to be real. Neighboring buildings anchor the scene, their own architectural character adding depth to this quiet corner of the Jersey Shore.
