It’s salty nature preserves that are home to countless creatures. It’s a day at the races with family and friends. It’s sailing the seas in search of whales. It’s climbing a lighthouse at night to look at the stars.
From north to south, here’s a look at some of the best off-the-beach adventures awaiting visitors this summer along Jersey’s celebrated 127-mile coastline.
Start in Monmouth County where horse racing, whale watching and an amusement park beckon.
“While most people think of our remarkable beaches, there is plenty to do beyond the shore,’’ said Monmouth County Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. “You can visit Monmouth Park, known for its thoroughbred horse racing and festivals and events. Monmouth is also home to charter vessels, including the Miss Belmar, which take visitors out for a day of fishing or an afternoon of whale watching.’’
When you hop aboard the Miss Belmar and Royal Miss Belmar for a day of fishing, you’re sure to catch stripers, blues, fluke or bottom fish. These deep-sea fishing trips, launched out of the bustling Belmar Marina, are family-friendly and led by an experienced crew that knows the best spots to cast a reel.
In recent years, as whales have become more plentiful along the Jersey Shore, Miss Belmar, among other operators, has added whale watching tours. These cruises virtually guarantee a sighting of these majestic creatures and frequently spot dolphins, sea turtles, sharks and other marine wildlife. Visit missbelmar.com.
