NEW JERSEY BEACHES
last visited Sept 2019 Part of CAPE MAY'S beached coastline . THE JERSEY SHORE From what I can see New Jersey's Atlantic Coast is one continuous strip of sand. It stretches (abt140m/225km) from SANDY HOOK within sight of NYC to CAPE MAY just north of Delaware , interrupted many times by streams or by tidal exits from lagoons. In places this sand borders the mainland, at others it becomes a barrier beach on a slightly offshore barrier island with lagoons between them and the mainland. In some areas these lagoons seemed to have filled in - in others partiall y filled to leave coastal marshes and similar. Where near-beach land is solid or reclaimed there is quite a lot of settlement - there has to be several dozen beach towns along this strip, often a continuous conurbation for many miles. Look for LONG BRANCH, ASHBURY PARK. SEASIDE HEIGHTS, SURF CITY and others. It's no mystery why the JERSEY SHORE is known as a bit of a summer playground. To do it justice a beach blogger
