Thomas Ludlam purchased the island in the late 1600s, and grazed cows and sheep on it. In the 1880s, developer Charles K. Landis founded the city of Sea Isle on the island.

Ludlam's Beach Lighthouse was constructed in 1885, and was built after Charles K. Landis requested a light because of several shipwrecks off the island. The light was an L-shaped, two-story, structure with a square light tower on top, located at 31st Street and the Boardwalk until 1924.
