I dearly miss NJ

[@thraciangrapes]

I love lighthouses. I used to live two blocks away from Barnegat Lighthouse. Pure heaven! The original lenses are still in the Barnegat Light Museum.

Wow! That must have been so great. What a beautiful place to live!!! 🏖

This is incredibly fascinating, thank you. I really became interested in visiting our lighthouses in NJ this year and plan to visit more next year!

[@historyofthejerseyshore]

Thank you, Sean! Hope you're able to keep your tour of the lighthouses going next year. They're great places to visit and close to the beach! :)

I've always seen the similarities between this stretch of American coast- Line, and where I've lived for the last 36 years now,a little coastal town called " Bredene"here they have left the dunes and sandy beach untouched , compared to other Belgian coastal towns (port's) and villages! With high-rise building on the first Line !
And so too,a large influx of tourist's in the summer!from about 23,000 inhabitants to +- 150,000!!!!!in the crazy months of juli and august.
Do we have no man- eaters, just the occasional, " reuzenhaai" or Baskin shark as the English call it.
And a small seal population!
Thanks again for posting ,i enjoyed it. 👍☯️

@@brunovanhove1832 I looked up Bredene. Your coastline is very similar to our Jersey Coast. I didn't know that Belgium had such nice beaches! I love natural shore areas that are left untouched! Thanks so much for watching...have a great summer! Our Jersey Shore gets packed with tourists too.
