The place known as the Jersey Shore begins at the north most tip of Sandy Hook and extends 130 miles southward to Cape May Point. Everyone born and raised in New Jersey knows their way "Down the Shore" ever since childhood. The Jersey Shore is filled with millions of visitors during the summer months.

New Jersey Shore towns have brightly painted colonial homes, seafood restaurants, boardwalks, and famous lighthouses that cover the entire area. Atlantic bottlenose dolphins are often seen from the beach. Shorebirds include the sandpiper, piping plover, osprey, and terns. Cape May has Whale Watching tours for humpback, finback and pigmy whales. Biplanes flying colorful advertising banners are a constant sight along the surf during the summer.

Fisherman are always along the beach, bay, river outlets, and in party boats catching bass, fluke, bluefish, flounder, pike, and cod. Deep sea fishermen go out for tuna and shark.

The Jersey Shore is host to several professional surfing tournaments, surfers can be seen every day during the summer. Scuba divers can easily find reefs, shipwrecks, and an abundance of marine life that includes semi tropical fish in the late summer. Jersey shore activities include ocean and bay kayaking, parasailing, crabbing, and dining at its best at the many Jersey Shore seafood restaurants.

Nightlife includes hundreds of clubs, often featuring "The Jersey Shore Sound" inspired by Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, The Drifters, and other musicians.
