New Jersey Shore
New Jersey's Atlantic Coast is a 130-mile (209km) stretch of
quaint fishing villages, white sandy beaches and historic
lighthouses from the Sandy Hook Peninsula in the north to Cape May
at the southern tip, interspersed with a string of holiday resorts
and characteristic boardwalks, ranging from wild and tacky
amusement towns to tranquil Victorian refuges.
The northern shore has dozens of beaches as well as most of the
state's 23 lighthouses, including the Sandy Hook Lighthouse
overlooking New York Harbour, which is the oldest operating
lighthouse in America. Miles of sand dunes and undeveloped nature
form the barrier island of Island Beach State Park where swimmers,
anglers and surfers can enjoy the ecologically protected
environment that is almost the same as it was thousands of years
ago.
The central region is home to the best-known resort on the
state's Atlantic Coast, the gambling centre of Atlantic City with
its famous boardwalk and casino-hotels, while exciting roller
coaster rides and the drive-through Wild Safari Animal Park at the
Six Flags Great Adventure Theme Park in Jackson provide hours of
family entertainment. Doo-Wop architecture, plastic palm trees and
neon lights are the features of Wildwoods, an avid party town with
boardwalk entertainment galore as well as some of the widest
beaches on the Jersey coast.
In contrast the Cape May Peninsula at the southernmost tip of
New Jersey between the Atlantic and Delaware Bay is primarily a
nature-lovers paradise ideal for camping, fishing and hiking.
Covered with thousands of acres of wetlands and natural areas, the
region is considered one of the top-ten birding destinations in
North America. At the very tip is the classic Victorian seaside
town of Cape May, itself a National Historic Landmark featuring
rows of colourful, restored Victorian homes and trolley tours.
