New Jersey is a state located on America’s East Coast. It might be the nation’s fourth-smallest state, but it’s got a long history. It was originally home to Indigenous people, and in the 17th century, the state saw its first European settlers. Many American Revolutionary War battles were fought across the state, and in the 19th century, many factories throughout the state helped further the Industrial Revolution. Today, the state is diverse, wealthy, and offers plenty for residents and tourists alike. From Swaminarayan Akshardham, the world’s largest Hindu temple, to the famous seaside resort town of Atlantic City, there’s a wide range of attractions to explore. And of course, being a state along the coast, there are lots of beaches. Read on and check out your options from this compiled list of beach houses in New Jersey, USA.
