It’s a must on your New Jersey bucket list, where you can take the ferry to Ellis Island and learn about the 12 million immigrants who came to the United States between 1892 and 1954.
Cape May is one of New Jersey’s top travel destinations, as the entire seaside town is a National Historic Landmark District. Although it’s the white sand beaches that mostly lure beach lovers to the beautiful shoreline, it’s a popular getaway year-round.
Sun, sand, and family-friendly fun – the Atlantic City Boardwalk is one of the top things to do in New Jersey. It was the world’s first boardwalk (opened in 1870) and offers access to the family-friendly Steel Pier amusement park and beach.
A tranquil retreat on the Jersey Shore, Ocean City Beach offers endless coastal fun with its picturesque shoreline. Throw out a towel and bask in the sunshine or try your hand at popular sea sports such as windsurfing, kitesurfing, sailing, fishing, or kayaking.
A dream destination for hikers, you can access the 72-mile segment that passes through New Jersey from the mountain and river-filled Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, in addition to several state parks.
For outdoor recreation, the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is one of the best places in New Jersey to visit. Stretching nearly 70,000 acres along 40+ miles of the Delaware River, this area has over 100 miles of hiking trails to explore.
