Up the Coast of New Jersey

From Cape May, we made a stop in Atlantic City.  We didn't get off the boat as it was massively congested with day trip boaters and we didn't feel like paying the price to dock.  As mentioned earlier, free is good, over $130 for a night isn't and that was on the cheap end!  It takes a splurge to dock since we'd run out of money over the course of a year if we docked every night!  Anyway from there we went up the coast to Barnegat Inlet and the little town of Barnegat Light Township.  We are waiting out weather so it has given me a chance to catch up on the blog.  All my spare time can't be spent cleaning and repairing!

Not sure what this building is but I'm sure it involved gambling.

The beach in Barnegat Light.  New Jersey was much smarter than
Florida.  They allow no development on the ocean side of their beaches for many
miles.  This ensures access for all and maintains healthy coasts.

The town is small and obviously a tourist destination.  This is
the main drag.

One of the public access points with a walkway built over the dunes.
It require a city permit to go to the beach.

The pines are very small compared to what we're used to in Florida.
Shorter growing season, I suppose.
