Nestled between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, Stone Harbor is perfectly placed to offer visitors a wonderful sea-side vacation. The town is located on a 7-mile barrier island and is surrounded by wonderful beaches, the ocean and the calm waters of the Intracoastal Waterway. Here you will find just about every kind of water sports you can imagine, from boating and sport-fishing on the Atlantic Ocean to paddling and kayaking through the tidal waterways and bird watching in the wetlands. The Wetlands Institute is a great place to learn all about your surroundings and the importance of protecting the wetlands and waterways for future generations. Stone Harbor is a 2-hour day trip from Philadelphia (84.9 miles via Atlantic City Expy E and Garden State Pkwy S).
