Barrier Islands

Narrow, sandy islands running parallel to the coast form barrier islands, offering the mainland protection from the ravages of the sea. The Atlantic Coast, especially from New Jersey to Florida, features many barrier islands. They often change in size and/or appearance, especially during storms. Traditionally, lighthouses guarded many of these islands, however, improved aids to navigation made most of them obsolete. Many of the currently operating lighthouses still provide visual reference points to mariners.
