9 Destinations Everyone In New Jersey Needs to Visit This Summer

It's officially summertime - aka one of our favorite seasons. There are lots of reasons to love the warm months, many of which include the many fantastic summer attractions in NJ. The sun is out, the temperatures are warm, and there are so many amazing outdoor activities to do! Here are our favorite summer destinations in New Jersey.

1. Island Beach State Park - Lanoka Harbor

This gorgeous island is a lot more peaceful than many Jersey Shore beaches. Sunbathe, swim, and explore the island in relative quiet. It's one of the best places to spend the summer in New Jersey.

2. Morey's Piers & Beachfront Water Parks - Wildwood

Wildwood in general is a summer hotspot, but we love the water park here - children can splash around while you enjoy drifting down the lazy river.

3. Highlands Natural Pool - Ringwood

Located in Ringwood, this is such a unique and interesting place to cool off. This natural swimming pool is formed by streams and surrounded by trees.

4. Mount Tammany - Knowlton Township

Looking to get some movement while you're outdoors? We recommend one of the prettiest hikes in all of New Jersey: getting to the top of Mount Tammany, so you can see the Delaware Water Gap in all its glory.

5. Kayaking in the Pinelands - Shamong

Pinelands Adventures will suit you up for a solo or guided tour through New Jersey's unique and massive nature preserve. There's no better way to spend a summer day than on a kayak!

6. Six Flags Great Adventure - Jackson Township

This one is a classic and perfect for thrill-seekers. The Jersey Devil, a record-breaking roller coaster, is completely wild!

7. Grounds for Sculpture - Hamilton Township

If you're looking for some culture this summer, explore this stunning art museum which has art pieces all over its outdoor grounds.

8. Keansburg Amusement Park and Runaway Rapids Waterpark - Keansburg

This is a fun one. Located right by the beach, you can try out all sorts of rides or hang out in the water park.
