Review:
Highlands is a lovely coastal community in Monmouth County, overlooking Sandy Hook Bay and New Jersey's beautiful Atlantic Ocean coastline.
The quaint maritime community is home to historic landmark twin lighthouses, which were originally constructed in 1828 and restored and rebuilt in 1862. Visitors can ascend the lighthouses seasonally as part of guided tours and view stunning panoramas of the region's waterways and shoreline.
Seven miles of pristine beachfront are showcased along Sandy Hook Bay, known as popular swimming and sunbathing spots throughout the summer months.
Several marinas and docks also offer opportunities for recreational boating and fishing.
On land, the city's delicious seafood restaurants are known as area landmarks, including the century-old Bahrs Landing Seafood Restaurant and the Lusty Lobster Seafood Market. Highlands Map
