You could visit New Jersey over a thousand times and still miss out on amazing places to see and thrilling things to do. Far from a one-and-done destination, we wow with 130 miles of spectacularly soft shorelines. Beyond these beautiful beaches, our cities pulse with exciting entertainment and culinary pleasures. Parks and natural wonders invite exhilarating recreation—or complete relaxation. One-of-a-kind attractions keep visitors coming back for more. And history, art and culture come to life at sites that can only be found here. No matter what your interests, there’s a perfect vacation waiting for you in New Jersey.
Come to where New Jersey touches the clouds. As home to High Point State Park—our tallest natural peak—it’s little wonder this region is known as the New Jersey Skylands. Travel over the hills and through the woods to make your escape into the timbered and rugged terrain that includes our slice of the Appalachian Trail.
Nestled along our northeastern corner, this region is the threshold to an urban oasis steeped in history and culture. Meet the globe’s mightiest icon for freedom, the Statue of Liberty. Enrich your soul with a show at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. And embrace a culture of comfort food in the world capital of diners.
Follow the flow of water to monumental American Revolution sites, quaint riverside towns built around bustling main streets and wineries that invite you to slow down and sip from the fruits of the land. Or embark on an outdoor adventure that delivers an adrenaline rush on—or along—the mighty Delaware River.
Encompassing the majority of our shoreline, this region delivers seaside splendor, coastal farmsteads and nautical emblems. Sink your toes into the soft white sands. Take a bite of fresh produce at humble roadside stands or sophisticated farm-to-table restaurants. And climb to new heights at an iconic lighthouse.
Over a century ago, brave horseback women dove from Atlantic City’s Steel Pier into the ocean more than 60 feet below. Today, the region invites visitors to dive into eclectic nightlife, upscale spas and shopping, celebrity chef–owned restaurants, lifestyle resorts and a wide variety of outdoor activities for the whole family.
A haven for no-cost summertime fun, several of this region’s beaches offer free access to visitors. Families will enjoy the award-wining coastal flair of Ocean City and the non-stop excitement of The Wildwoods. For a more serene experience, Cape May’s Victorian charm harkens visitors back to a more tranquil time gone by.
