Into the Blue Whether salt-laden or ultra-fresh, the healing waters of New Jersey offer a tonic for both body and mind. With a staggering 60+ beaches spanning 130 miles of coastline, over 6,400 miles of rivers and streams, countless waterfalls and more than 400 publicly accessible lakes and reservoirs, the “Blue Mind” theory is strong in NJ. Being in, on or by a body of water does the soul good, and with landscapes like ours, wellness runs deep here. FROM BEACH TO BAY Strands of shoreline running the length of the coast offer a wide range of activities and experiences for the avid water sportsman and woman. Cast a line right off Ventnor Fishing Pier or at uncrowded Horseshoe Cove in Sandy Hook Bay. For deep-sea charters, from the Delaware Bay to offshore canyons, tackle up with Free Spirit Fishing in Margate or stay inshore for fly fishing with Fish Head Charters in Ship Bottom . Get your kicks parasailing with Belmar Parasail, rent jet skis at Beesleys Point or paddle out into the surf when visiting Manasquan Inlet . Dock your boat on the banks of Raritan Bay for a NYC skyline vantage point or tow tube across the waters of Barnegat Bay . Paddleboard into the sunset on Sea Isle City ’s bay side, or bodysurf the waves on the Atlantic side. Head into the back bay sounds of Avalon on a family-friendly crabbing trip with the captain and crew of Miss Avalon Fishing Charters. 20 2025 New Jersey Travel Guide
