Derith,
If you plan it as a two day affair it works best if you startat either end- that is Sandy hook / Navesink or tinicum rear Range.
This allows you to spend overnight in the Atlantic City area where there are plenty of placs to choose from and not be far from a number of lighthouses in the morning, no matter which way you start.
Many of the Lights are open late and some even stay open later than advertised if they are needed- no guarantee of that though.
The one's that should be concentrated on are (or the most time allocated for- especially East Point) East Point, Finn's Point, Tinicum Rear Range and Sea Girt as these are open the fewest days per year. Of course if you're not from the immediate area all of them fall into that category.
East Point has a very small Lantern Room as does Sea Girt and Hereford Inlet so these have longer waits to climb than some others.
Although in the past we have had to turn people away from Sandy Hook even though we ran tours every 15 minutes instead of every 30 minutes. Last year on the Saturday we ran 45 tours of 8-10 people and still could not accomadate everyone.
If all you want to do is get to the lighthouse and get your stamp it can be done easily- if you want to get into most or all of the lighthouses it's a Challenge.
The idea is to get people interested enough to come back again.
