Beach Haven West, NJ

On the north end of Long Beach Island, is Barnegat Light. Not a large town, but it has the largest icon on the island, "Old Barney".

Old Barney is a red and white lighthouse that was designed by General George Meade. It is the second largest lighthouse in the United States standing 172 tall. Old Barney sits on the Barnegat Lighthouse State park. The lighthouse is a favorite of photographers and artists.

The state park offers fishing fans a perfect place to go and bird watchers enjoy all the flocks of migrating shorebirds.

So the next time you come "down the shore" don't forget to stop at Old Barney and climb to the top. It's a favorite past time of the young and the old.

"The blue crab is known to scientists as Callinectes sapidus (kal i nek' tes sap' i dus). The literal translation of this Latin name is the beautiful (calli) swimmer (nectes) that is savory (sapidus). The blue crab certainly lives up to its name with brilliant blends of olive-green, blue and red, the ability to dart swiftly through the water and a body of delicate, white meat"..as so stated NJDEP of Fish & Wildlife.

This is the crab that lives in the waters of New Jersey. You can find them in lagoons, under bridges, off your boat, almost anywere there is tidal waters. Some of the best areas are the Barnaget Bay, Tuckerton and Toms River.

You do not need a licease if it is for recreational crabbing and not for commerical. Remember if you are renting a boat in the state of NJ, you must have a valid NJ Boating License.

This is a great activity for all, for both the young and the old. My in laws, use to take my children out on a Platoon boat in Barnegat Bay near the LBI Causeway to go crabbing and years later my children still talk about how much fun they had and how they want their Grandfather and I to take their children.

Enjoy your crabbing, and you just might see me around Barnaget Bay, not crabbing, but snapping some pictures as the children are so excited when they catch their first crab.
