I have no idea if the City of North Wildwood is continuing the fine efforts of the Friends of Hereford Inlet Lighthouse as it pertains to brick purchases, The Friends saved the lighthouse from demolition by neglect over 30 years ago, nurtured it to become an iconic landmark with award winning gardens and a focus on history. In January of this year, the Mayor of North Wildwood booted the Friends out so that he could have the gardens destroyed to improve his view and that of his neighbors of the ocean - talk about overreach and disgraceful behavior. For full details, check in on the herefordlighthouse . org website for the last Newsletter - if you haven't heard the news, worth the read.

Since the city took control over the operation of the lighthouse they are in the process of dismantling the gardens. :(

They’re open seven days a week but I don’t recall the hours. The cost was minimal. I would contact them directly for the exact information.

Unfortunately, pets are not permitted on the grounds of the lighthouse, including the gardens.

Hi! Yes you can

Age 12 and under is 3.00. Over 12 is 6.00 to tour the lighthouse. The gardens and gift shop are free. The gardens lead out to a boardwalk with benches to sit and enjoy the view

The Hereford Lighthouse will be open seven days a week in the summer. If you purchase the combination ticket, you can use your Cape May Lighthouse on another day. The new hours will be posted as soon as the staff is available. June 18th and 19th the Hereford Lighthouse has it's annual festival, with food, entertainment and vendors selling Art, jewelry, photos, etc. I hope this helps you plan your trip. The flowers will be in full bloom also.
