Most Beautiful Place in New Jersey
New Jersey’s Island Beach State Park was deemed the most beautiful place in the Garden State.
The state park spans 10 miles of the Barnegat Peninsula in Seaside Park. With more thatn 3,000 acres and 10 miles of coastal dunes, it remains almost untouched since Henry Hudson first described New Jersey’s coast from the ship, the Half Moon, in 1609.
Known for ocean swimming and surf fishing, the park also offers maritime forests, tidal marshes and rolling sand dunes. The undeveloped barrier beach provides an incredible backdrop for these and other recreational activities.
