THE GARDENS AT HEREFORD INLET LIGHTHOUSE
For those of you are not into lighthouses, I offer some images of the gardens created and maintained by one Steve Murray. These are award winning Victorian gardens built by Steve as an act of love, or shear idiocy depending upon your view. I choose the former and leave the latter to others.
Incidentally if you do join us for the Maritime show on the 17th and 18th of this month, Steve would love to talk to you about his gardens. Just please do not mention how much he looks like Robert Redford......It drives him nuts and he really does , but doesn't appreciate comments.

And of course what has become the quintessential photograph of the entire light and property!
If you intend to attend the Maritime Festival or just visit the lighthouse (it is open year round), a suggestion regarding your driving habits may be in order. They thrive on speeding tickets in North Wildwood. And I mean 27 in a 25 mph zone. Well maybe not quite that bad, but don't risk it. They are tough!
Directions are simple. Exit six on the Garden State Parkway is a south side of the road affair. There isn't any going north. So, either you drive up the beach from Cape May or turn around on the parkway and go south to get to exit six.
After you get off the Parkway, turn right at the stop street and go straight to the ocean. The lighthouse is on North Central Avenue, and ya all come now!
