Best Quiet Beaches in New Jersey
2 peaceful NJ beaches — Cape May's Victorian serenity and Long Beach Island's unhurried barrier island character.
Cape May Beach
A National Historic Landmark Victorian seaside town — the most serene Jersey Shore community, where the pace is deliberately relaxed and horses and trolleys still pass near the beach.
Long Beach Island Beach
An 18-mile barrier island with a residential rather than resort character — quiet Victorian summer colonies, Barnegat Lighthouse State Park birding, and an unhurried summer pace.
