Abandoned Lighthouse
Conover Beacon
Middletown, NJ
The Conover Beacon is a lighthouse in Leonardo section of Middletown Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey that functioned as the front light of the now-discontinued Chapel Hill Range.
The current tower, which resembles a submarine periscope, replaced the hexagonal wooden tower in 1941. Before being relocated to Leonardo, the metal tower served as the front light of the Waackaack (way-cake) Range. The tower’s former location was just over four miles west along the shore at Point Comfort in Keansburg, where it was also known as the Point Comfort or Bayside Beacon.
