Planned Moving and Restoration
After the current owners of the lighthouse building offered it for donation on the stipulation that it be moved to a new property, the Friends of Ludlam Beach Lighthouse organization began working with the City of Sea Isle to find a location to move the original structure. As of April 2009, a renovated Excursion Park or the planned Passive Park were the two most popular locations. If the structure had been moved, it was planned to restore it to its condition in 1900, and open it as a museum. By the summer of 2010, the Friends of Ludlam Beach Lighthouse had not reached their fund-raising goals, and the building was demolished on September 21, 2010 to make way for three private homes.
