The Sandy Hook Lighthouse located about one and a half statute miles (2.4 km) inland from the tip of Sandy Hook New Jersey is the oldest working lighthouse in the United States. It was designed and built in 1764 by Isaac Conro. At that time it stood only 500 feet (150 m) from the tip of Sandy Hook; however today due to growth caused by littoral drift it is almost one and a half miles (2.4 km) inland from the tip.
