The Garden State has unfortunately and unfairly been the target of many jokes over the years. At best, it has been viewed as little more than a suburb of New York City and home to the leading casino outside of Nevada.
Here’s the truth of it: New Jersey romantic travel all along its 127-mile coast is perhaps one of the very best-kept secrets ever. With a large variety of beach getaway rentals from which to select, there are opportunities for activity as well as relaxation by the ocean that individuals situated on the East Coast have loved for many years and of course continue to be there for you now. Whether it is dynamic water activities like surfing and scub diving, a night on the town in Atlantic City, strolling about in historic Cape May (one of the three remaining specified Victorian Seaports in the U.S.) of nature tours belonging to the state’s coastal wetlands, New Jersey offers something for singles, couples and families alike.
Since it is a relatively small state, just about everyplace in New Jersey is close to the sea and vice-versa. New Jersey beach vacation rentals are suitable bases of operations for visiting practically anywhere within the Garden State.
The Shore Region has no shortage of unspoiled white seashores where you may sunbathe, surf or even just go fishing from the shore. While in your seaside rental, enjoy the world-class seafood restaurants in addition to the many cultural and historical institutions in the area. Cyclists will certainly enjoy the Metz Bicycle Museum (http://www.metzbicyclemuseum.com/), which provides a collection of vintage bicycles dating back a hundred and sixty years and even a fascinating assortment of children’s riding toys going back to the 1860s. History buffs will want to check out the Monmouth Battlefield State Park, location of one of the main battles of the American Revolution and not far from Morristown National Historic Park, where George Washington located his military H.Q. for a time.
Further south along the Southern Shore region, you’ll encounter Ocean City, Wildwood and Cape May. The latter is known as a foremost vacation spot, and as beach vacation rentals and cabin rentals are plentiful, they can be expensive. On the other hand, if you don’t mind walking a few blocks and choose an inn within the town over a New Jersey beach rental, you’ll be right inside the heart of one of the most charming towns on the East Coast. Founded in 1620 by a sea captain from the Netherlands (Cornelius Jacobsen Mej, that is pronounced “may”), Cape May continues to be the top preference of tourists since before the Civil War. It retains a good deal of its 19th Century charm, and actually offers more in the way of preserved Victorian architecture than any U.S. city besides San Francisco.
The waters off Cape May are perfect for boating; it is in fact here that competitors come to practice for the annual Nantucket boat race. Briefly, the New Jersey shoreline packs tons into a tiny space; you could potentially spend months experiencing all the Garden State Shore has to offer.
