New Jersey

An East Coast state right next to New York and Philadelphia, popular for its Jersey Shore beach towns and Atlantic City.

New Jersey lies in the northeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and set between the two metropolitan areas of New York and Philadelphia. The Jersey Shore, which stretches more than 130 miles, is dotted with seaside towns; Cape May is known for its Victorian architecture, and Atlantic City for its casinos and Boardwalk. Princeton University's campus and Liberty State Park are also worth a visit. Summer is peak beach season, and fall is pleasant. Newark Liberty International Airport is the main gateway, and commuter rail connects to New York and Philadelphia.
