New Jersey is "America the Beautiful...only
smaller." In New Jersey, you can walk in Washington's footsteps, bask on
the glorious ocean shore, and enjoy a nightlife of world-class gaming,
all in the same day.
Down the Shore:
The Jersey shore is 127 miles long. It's no wonder New Jersey was the
first state to have lifeguards. Get the best of all possible worlds in the Shore
Region. First, there's all that swimming, surfing, fishing, water sports,
strolling and sunbathing along miles of pristine beaches. But you are
never far from incredible food, a stellar cultural event, or even a walk
through history.
It's also home to the white house - the famous White House sub shop in
Atlantic City, that is. The shop's been churning out its famous
sandwiches since the 1940s.
Atlantic City receives more than 32 million visitors a year. Many
visitors head to the shore town's many casinos, hoping Lady Luck will
bring them good fortune.
Discover
Jersey Arts.
Fine and performing arts venues have made New Jersey a preeminent arts and
cultural center, offering plays, concerts and museum exhibitions of the
highest caliber.
Scream with excitement or jump for joy at
Six Flags Great Adventure
Theme Park. And when you've recovered from the roller coasters and
drive-through Wild Safari Animal Park, test the wild waters at Hurricane
Harbor Water Park.
Sample the concerts and music
at the
Great
Auditorium in Ocean Grove, or catch some outstanding entertainment at
Red Bank's
Count Basie Theatre. See headline performers at the
PNC Bank Arts Center
in Holmdel, or the live Saturday night bluegrass, country and folk
concerts at Waretown's
Albert Music Hall.
Don't miss the summer stock charm of a classic full stage musical at
Beach Haven's
Surflight Theatre, a professional show at the historic
Strand Theatre
in Lakewood, or at the Fine Arts Center in Toms River.
You can enjoy the "night"
sounds and camp out under the stars at any one of the dozens of
campgrounds and parks located throughout the region. For daytime solitude
try walking one of the longest natural dune barrier beaches in the
northeast at
Island Beach State Park.
Hunt for bargains at the
Englishtown
Flea Market Auction. Search for the special memento at a gallery of New
Jersey artists and craftsmen or find that special treasure in an antique
shop.
With everything from seaside thrills to amusement park chills, you won't
run out of fun and excitement in the Shore Region.
