2011 Map of Barnegat Light

About this map

Barnegat Light stands at the northern tip of Long Beach, marking a critical maritime junction where the Atlantic Ocean meets Barnegat Bay. This early 21st-century coastal survey documents the intersection of modern recreation and maritime infrastructure, centered on the historic town grid where Sunset Blvd and Central Ave lead toward the waterfront. The residential layout of the borough is clearly defined, supported by the Barnegat Light Post Office and proximity to the protective The Dike. To the west, the intricate marshes and channels of the Sedge Islands dominate the bay landscape, while the Intracoastal Waterway provides a vital transit corridor through the shoals. The narrow barrier land of Island Beach stretches northward, emphasizing the fragile geography of this shoreline community as it appeared before major coastal changes of the following decade.
