World War II Lookout Tower Last climb is 15 minutes before closing. It's an easy 99 step climb to the top of the tower.
(257)

Fire Control Tower No. 23 is New Jersey’s last remaining restorable World War II tower, part of the immense Harbor Defense of the Delaware system known as Fort Miles. Restored, maintained and interpreted by Cape May MAC (Museums + Arts + Culture), it's now a museum and memorial to our area's "greatest generation." Along the way, you can see the "Wall of Honor" (third floor) featuring now and then photos of local veterans as well as the recreated dayroom. The view from the watchroom gives you a panoramic look at the tip of the Cape.
