New Jersey is only a hop, skip, and jump away from New York, one of the most exciting cities in the world, yet it feels as though it can be another world–complete with quirky beachside boardwalks, roaring oceans, quiet forests, and hidden waterfalls which cascade down the northern end of the state. New Jersey itself is bordered by 130 miles (209.21 km) of Atlantic coastline, this small, bustling state has much to offer visitors from surfing the wild Atlantic waters to riding the roller coaster at the Fantasy Land amusement park, with all of the fun and frivolity of New York only a short train ride away.
