The 65-foot lighthouse, completed in 1943, was never really a working lighthouse in the traditional sense, but it is a major part of Mays Landing history.
For many years it was known as the “singing tower” because music was played from speakers that were installed atop of it. Local officials said there were too many complaints though and the music was silenced.
Over the years, the Lighthouse has fallen into disrepair and serves mainly as a storage building for beach and boating supplies.
