You’ll have fun exploring them all, right down to the crown jewel at the southern tip of the state: Cape May. From Sandy Hook to Cape May, each has its own unique charm. Saltwater taffy, endless miles of boardwalk, and a hometown vibe are just some of the reasons the New Jersey Shore is a national treasure.
