Barnegat Bay

Tidal lagoon in southeastern New Jersey, 48 km/30 mi northeast of Atlantic City. It is 52 km/32 mi long and 6 km/4 mi wide, and lies within Island Beach and the northern part of Long Beach Island, with outlets through the Bayhead–Manasquan Canal, through Little Egg Harbor, and directly to the Atlantic through Barnegat Inlet.

Barnegat Lighthouse, built in 1855 and replaced in 1930 by an offshore lightship, is at Barnegat Inlet, the northern tip of Long Beach Island. Barnegat Light (population (1990) 700) lies just south of the lighthouse, while Barnegat (population (1990) 12,200) lies opposite, on the mainland.

Barnegat (Edward B Forsythe) National Wildlife Refuge, mostly west of the bay, comprises 3,070 ha/7,580 acres of coastal marsh.
