There is a lot to do and a lot to explore in the Garden State and it can seem overwhelming sometimes.

Do you explore all of the great small beach towns our state has to offer? Or do you try and see all of the lighthouses in Jersey first?

Should you take the time to visit as many of our state parks as you can, or should you make the pilgrimage to Margate to see Lucy The Elephant?

Usually, options are good, but they are also overwhelming.

So if you're looking for something fun to do and explore in Jersey, why not check out a little hidden gem that was ranked among one of the best in the country?
