With fourteen beaches of which several are free, New Jersey’s Southern Shore has a beach for everyone. Ocean City was named Coastal Living’s Best Beach in America, peaceful Cape May oozes Victorian charm and The Wildwoods promises year-round fun with a full calendar of events. The region is home to seven free beaches, where activities like parasailing, surfing and the calmer mini golf are popular.

Corson’s Inlet State Park in Strathmere offers opportunities to view local wildlife and Soldiers Monument in Cape May honours those who served in World War I. Children will love Cape May County Park & Zoo, the state’s largest zoo, or burning off energy at Cumberland Mall’s play area. Spas, breweries, and vineyards throughout the region round off the fun.
