Sure cure for sunburn

During the summer of 1893, the Cape May Wave reported that night time bathing was becoming quite the rage. People felt that bathing at night exceeded the benefits of daytime bathing, without its burning sun and sand. Even bath house operators were revising their hours of operation to accommodate their evening customers. 57

Lighting the night The first known Cape May Lighthouse was constructed in 1823 with a tower that was 68 feet tall. Its location is now under water due to erosion. In 1847, a second lighthouse was built with a 78-foot tower located directly in front of the present tower just beyond the

current shoreline. However, it was poorly constructed and was replaced by the present tower, constructed in 1859. The cost to build the present lighthouse was $40,000, and the original lens probably cost about $15,000. The Cape May Lighthouse was first lighted on Oct. 31, 1859. See Calendar for hours of operation.
