The Longest Fishing Pier is in this Little New Jersey Town
Even if you don’t like fishing, it’s pretty cool to walk on.
The longest pier, fishing pier, or boardwalk pier, whatever you call it, I had no idea we had such a long one here in New Jersey. It stretches on and on and it’s pretty cool.
When I visited it several years ago, I was blown away.
We have beautiful boardwalks and beaches, but this fishing pier is pretty cool. We have lots of fishing piers at the Jersey Shore, but this one is the longest I’ve seen here in the Garden State.

This fishing pier is the longest in New Jersey, spanning over a thousand feet, according to onlyinyourstate.com. When I checked it out, it was something I would expect to see in Florida or North Carolina.
You can take a walk on this pier all year long, it’s open at all times and right now might be the perfect time to check it out. It’s chilly, so maybe the pier will be empty, you could have it all to yourself.
The views are just amazing. The longest fishing pier in New Jersey is in Ventnor City. Ventnor City is in Atlantic County and it’s a quaint little shore town.
Imagine the beautiful sunrises and sunsets on this fishing pier. It’s something I definitely want to try out at one of those times of the day. Either way, when you go, you will love this little walk on the pier, all the way to the middle of the water.

Do you have a secret spot in your home where you hide your valuables?
Do you think that it’s very safe and a would-be burglar wouldn’t think to check?
Unfortunately, that spot may not be as safe as you would hope. Burglars have a few spots in your home they will check first after they break in, and it very well may be your “super safe secret spot.”

Do you hide things in your sock or underwear drawer?
It may be a good way to hide things from your kids, but obviously, a burglar is going to check there first.

How Common is Burglary in New Jersey
The majority of crimes in New Jersey are property crimes like burglary and vehicle theft. In 2021, NJ residents reported 103,761 property crimes.
This breaks down to a property crime rate of 11 crimes per 1,000 residents.
Though this crime rate is below the national average, you still have a 1-in-89 chance of becoming a victim of property crime. Criminals in New Jersey often target homes to steal electronics, jewelry, and other expensive items.
Reconsider Where You Are Hiding Your Valuables
I hope you are never the victim of a burglary, but if you are, at least you can make it a little harder for a crook to find your valuables.
Reader’s Digest recently talked with Chris McGoey of McGoey Security Consulting and Robert Siciliano, a security analyst with Hotspot Shield.
Using information from these two experts, the magazine determined that these are the 10 spots burglars are most likely to check.
