From nightlife and world-class gaming to gingerbread Victorian Inns, New Jersey vacation destinations can be found most anywhere from the scenic mountains of the northwest to the sandy beaches of the Jersey Shore, with beautiful barrier islands and inlets complete with lighthouses, fishing villages, and ocean views. New Jersey has some of the oldest and most noteworthy lighthouses in the nation including, Sandy Hook, the oldest operating lighthouse in America.

Explore some of the lesser known things that make New Jersey a good destination, such as climbing the steps of the Statue of Liberty ( a New Jersey and not a New York attraction) or visit the laboratory of Thomas Edison where he invented the light bulb, motion pictures, the phonograph and much more. Explore world class museums such as the Newark Museum which houses the largest Tibetan Art collection in the world outside of Tibet.

Historical discovery is a main feature for visitors in New Jersey. You will see why the state is known as the “Crossroads of the American Revolution.” From Washington’s headquarters in Morristown to the hundreds of battles fought on Garden State soil, one is never far from an American Revolution historical site.

New Jersey’s mountains are a world of pristine rivers, mountain trails and meadows perfect for hiking, kayaking, wild life watching and much more .

This only skims the surface of what there is to see and do in New Jersey.
