Fascinating place to visit. Built in 1942, the tower was one of 15 towers that helped aim batteries of coastal artillery, stretching from North Wildwood, NJ to Bethany Beach, DE. Four were in Cape May County. Don't forget to look for Cape May diamonds on the beach!

Fire Control Tower No. 23 is New Jersey’s last remaining restorable World War II tower, and was part of the immense Harbor Defense of the Delaware system known as Fort Miles. It played a major part in the coastal defense of the Delaware River and Bay. Built in 1942, the tower was one of 15 towers that helped aim batteries of coastal artillery. Fire Control Tower No. 23 is on land now part of the Cape May Point State Park. The boardwalk leading up to the Tower is lined with interpretive panels and leads to the All Veterans Memorial on the rear deck at the base of the Tower. The deck and entry level are all fully accessible. The Tower was restored and is operated by the non-profit Cape May MAC (Museums + Arts + Culture).
