Barnegat Lighthouse State Park offers free walk-on fishing access along a paved bulkhead in the picnic area and a 1,000+ foot concrete inlet walkway, with free parking and accessible facilities including restrooms and an interpretive center.

The park features a 32-acre setting with opportunities for fishing, birdwatching, and nature walks, though visitors should note that recent beach replenishment work has created unstable sand conditions in some areas—exercise caution and stay away from collapse zones near the concrete walkway.
