New Jersey

New Jersey’s landscape ranges from waterfront cities like Hoboken and Jersey City to college town Princeton and the Delaware Water Gap, popular for waterfall hikes and tubing on the Delaware River. In summer, the Jersey Shore comes to life, with families flocking to singular beach towns like Spring Lake and the amusement park rides that line the Atlantic boardwalk.
