SHORE REGION

The Shore Region is more than just 90 miles of white-sand beaches. There is more to do than enjoying the Atlantic
Ocean, surfing, and relaxing on the beach. The region is rich with farm markets featuring Jersey Fresh produce and
seafood, fresh and saltwater fishing, boating opportunities, birding, and lighthouses to explore. Add some excitement
to your camping trip with a visit to Six Flags Great Adventure or to Jenkinson’s Boardwalk.
