The Harbor of Refuge Lighthouse, built in 1926, stands as a sentinel at the entrance of Delaware Bay, guiding ships safely through its waters.
The breakwater was constructed to provide a safe haven for ships during storms, protecting them from the treacherous waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
The area is included in the Delaware Bay Estuary Project, which aims to protect the diverse ecosystems and wildlife habitats in the region.
The surrounding area is a prime location for observing migratory birds, especially during the spring and fall seasons.
During the war, the harbor served as a strategic point for naval operations, helping to protect the eastern seaboard of the United States.
