Highlands is one of Monmouth County's most beautiful coastal communities, overlooking the beautiful Sandy Hook Bay on New Jersey's pristine Atlantic Ocean coastline.
The city is known as one of New Jersey's most historic maritime communities, home to more than seven miles of pristine beachfront that are popular seasonal swimming and sunbathing areas during the summer months. Its twin lighthouses, which were originally constructed in 1828, have been fully restored to their historic condition and are now open to the public as living history museum facilities for guided tours. Marinas and dock areas throughout the city offer opportunities for recreational boat launching, perfect for anglers looking to hit the waters. Visitors can also dine at some of New Jersey's most acclaimed seafood restaurants, including the delightful Lusty Lobster Seafood Market.
