This is one of the prettiest and most charming towns in New Jersey. Stop off here for lunch and wander around the shops and galleries!

3. Six Flags Great Adventure

Time for some adrenaline! Spend your afternoon conquering roller coasters at an iconic amusement park. If it's hot out, cruise by the water park.

4. Seaside Heights Boardwalk

Here's where we would crash for the night. Make sure to catch the sunset on the beach and explore this famed boardwalk after dinner.

5. Atlantic City

Head over to the Vegas of the east in the morning for some breakfast (we recommend the Borgata) and then hang out at the beach and boardwalk here. It's a great way to mix things up!

6. Cape May County Park and Zoo

Time to see some beautiful animals! The zoo here features an abundance of exotic animals, and also focuses on education.

7. Cape May Point

Finish off your day by relaxing on the beach at Cape May, one of the most beautiful beach towns in the state. You've earned it!

And remember: you can mix up this road trip however you like depending on your starting destination! It's all flexible.
