Shore Region

The Shore Region is a coastal area along the Atlantic Ocean that includes multiple seaside towns with boardwalks and amusement parks. Each community offers its own beaches, attractions, and waterfront areas for swimming and recreation.

The region began as a retreat destination in the early 1900s from religious camps and vacation towns. It grew into a major tourism hub with extensive new development along the coast.

The region has deep roots in seaside entertainment and recreation that shape how locals and visitors spend their time. Boardwalks, amusement rides, and fishing traditions form the backdrop of everyday life in coastal towns.

The region is accessible year-round, with busy summer months and quieter conditions in fall, winter, and spring. Most towns offer ample parking, public restrooms, and easy access to beaches and boardwalks.

Mount Mitchill in Atlantic Highlands stands at 266 feet (81 meters) as the highest coastal point on the eastern seaboard south of Maine. The views from this spot stretch far across the water and inland landscape.
