Geocache Description:

Paddle, row, sail or swim out to the Great Beds Lighthouse for a tour of the most famous lighthouse in the Raritan Bay!


There is nothing at the posted coordinates, but they are near the starting point for the Wherigo tour which is also a good spot to launch your boat.

To log this Whereigo tour you will need to get yourself to the Great Beds Lighthouse while running the Wherigo app via a smartphone, pocket-pc or Wherigo enabled GPS receiver. Upon reaching the Great Beds Light you will be given the coordinates for the final location which is a physical geocache that can be found right in South Amboy's Raritan Bay Waterfront Park. This beautiful park is open from dawn to dusk and features a playground, multi-sport fields, memorials, a few miles of paved walking paths, a covered pavilion and of course a great view of the bay and Great Beds Lighthouse.

The Great Beds Lighthouse cache by President3 does a good job of recounting the history of the lighthouse.
If you are interested in more information, local bloggers Morgan-NJ have put together a wealth of info including videos of the interior of the lighthouse.
