An incredibly diverse state with an amazing array of things to do, New Jersey is so small that everything is within a few hours' drive at most. There's the shore, with its sandy beaches, where the boardwalk and saltwater taffy were invented; the northwest, a region of green rolling hills, magnificent valleys and picturesque towns ignored by time; the southern counties, with their lush farms and a simpler way of life. Even the northern counties, often dismissed as concrete jungles, are loaded with zoos, arboretums, historic sites and museums. This guide, a goldmine for residents and visitors alike, tells you all about the best amusement parks, historic sites, cultural attractions, beaches, boardwalks, parks, forests, and much more - plus sections on restaurants, hotels and shopping - in every county.
