New Jersey is a place filled with natural beauty and many underrated attractions. So, here are 5 places you should consider visiting in New Jersey during this upcoming summer.

1. Barnegat Lighthouse

Open 8am-8pm, the lighthouse is open just in time for sunset and sunrise, so you can take in the pretty views of Ocean County atop the gorgeous landmark. Yet another reason to head down the shore! Be sure to take in the beautiful beaches in Long Beach Island.
