Get the best of both worlds in New Jersey's coastal region! Here, you can have the pleasure of being right on the water in a clean, safe environment. But at the same time, you'll be mere minutes from the incredible food, stellar cultural events, exciting nightlife, and historic landmarks of the New Jersey mainland. With quaint fishing villages, boardwalks, and a multitude of shops, the New Jersey coast is perfect for day trips or longer vacations. If you decide to visit, don't miss Six Flags Great Adventure Theme Park, which offers roller-coasters, a drive-through Wild Safari Animal Park, and the family-friendly Hurricane Harbor Water Park. For a relaxing, quiet night, sit under stars at one of New Jersey's many parks or campgrounds (bring a blanket!). For a louder night, sample the concerts at the Great Auditorium in Ocean Grove, or take in some bluegrass, country and folk at Waretown's Albert Music Hall.
