New Jersey’s Shore Region

Jersey Shore Beaches
The New Jersey Shore stretches for more than 140 miles along the Atlantic Ocean, so it's no surprise that the area is bursting at the seams with excellent camping opportunities for people of all ages and interests.
The town today attracts visitors with its outdoor activities at the Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park, the luxury Pier Village community area, theatrical performances at the New Jersey Repertory Company, and more.
If you’re looking for a classic East Coast beach vibe, I think you’ll love the Ocean City Boardwalk. I always find it exciting—three miles of shops, restaurants, and nonstop fun that work for any age.
You can easily spend hours here. I like to catch a few free street performances and just enjoy the ocean views—it’s the kind of place where time flies.
When I want a bit of classic amusement park fun, I head straight for the boardwalk rides. You can ride the Ferris wheel, try some of the small coasters, or enjoy the laid-back carnival games—perfect if you want a dose of nostalgia.
If you plan to stay overnight—and I think you should—there are plenty of hotels and inns right on the boardwalk. I like being able to walk out the door and be right in the action.
If you love architecture like I do, you’re going to be amazed by Cape May. You’ll walk past stunning Victorian homes, charming B&Bs, and beautiful churches that look like they’re from a storybook.
I always enjoy just strolling the streets—it feels like stepping back in time, and every building has its own character and charm.
When I visit, I always make time for a great meal—there are some really cozy and elegant restaurants here. If you’re planning a special event, you’ll find lovely venues that make weddings or receptions feel truly magical.
