The Jersey Shore is one of New Jersey’s most beautiful locations, but many people don’t know about a part of it that is well off the beaten path. Far south of the popular tourist destinations of Asbury Park and Point Pleasant Beach, but well before you get to the famous southern destination of Cape May, you’ll find Ocean Drive. A series of interconnected local roads, Ocean Drive connects Atlantic City to Cape May along the barrier islands of New Jersey. As you travel the shore via this unique route, you’ll visit some of the best off-the-beaten-path towns in the state. Stunning views await as you drive to North Wildwood, where you’ll find the famous Grassy Sound Marina – but most people who take this drive agree that the journey is half the appeal.
