The New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail: A Top to Bottom Tour of More Than 50 Scenic and Historic Sites

The New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail, established by an act of Congress in 1988, runs from Perth Amboy Harbor in the northeast of the state to Fort Mott State Park in the southwest-a 275-mile stretch of Jersey coast linking more than 50 natural and historic destinations. Whether you plan to visit one or all 54 sites, this well-organized, fully illustrated guide makes it fun and easy. For each site along the trail, author Patricia Robinson provides a description, driving directions, hours of operation, contact data, historic and natural details, photos, and trivia. You'll find Robinson's recommendations for where to go to enjoy your favorite outdoor activities-from bird-watching to biking, camping, crabbing, dining, hiking, paddling, picnicking, swimming, walking, windsurfing, and much more.
