It's Sugar's tribute to Lucy the Elephant
While you’re here, be sure to check out the massive recreation of Lucy the Elephant, the ultimate candy pachyderm, made from 1,050,493 Jelly Belly Beans. Lucy is one of the New Jersey Shore’s most eclectic architectural feats. Located in the town of Margate south of Atlantic City and Ventnor, she’s a 65-foot tall wooden elephant shaped building, the largest “elephant” in the world. Built in 1881 by real estate prospector James Vincent de Paul Lafferty, Jr., Lucy has been a real estate office, summer house, and a tavern. Today she’s a quirky roadside attraction, paid homage to by It’s Sugar’s Jelly Belly Bean elephant.\
