I decided to change the format a little and review an article already written on this topic in New Jersey Monthly. The article is entitled "52 Things You Must Do This Year" 2012. For me what seemed relevant are the attractions that are featured in South Jersey. Here they are: 1. Run with the Crabs in Cape May; 2. Watch Salt Water Taffy being made at Shriver's Ocean City on the Boardwalk; 3. Go Victorian in Cape May by taking a trolley around historic Cape May, NJ 4. Accept No Sub-stitutes eat at Whitehouse Subs; 5. Be a Beacon Down The Shore by visiting the lighthouses from Cape May to Tinicum Island in Paulsboro 6. Saddle up at the Rodeo in Cowtown Pilesgrove NJ; 7. Get Hooked on the Blues and go angling for Bluefish; 8. Go Back in Time in the Delsea Drive Drive In Movie Theater in Vineland, NJ; 9. Watch the Whales out of Cape May, NJ; 10. Read a Jersey Classic "The Pine Barrens" by John McPhee; 11. Paddle the Pines by going kayaking and canoeing with dozens of creeks and rivers; 12. Peek into Golfer's Mecca by golfing at Pine Valley Golf Club in Clementon, NJ; 13. Watch History Repeat Itself crossing the Delaware like George Washington; 14. Go Down The Shore In The Winter at Island Beach Park and walk the vast dunes to glimpse Barnegat Light; 15. Visit Lucy the Elephant in Margate, NJ.
Now I can't say that I've done anything on the list except the whale watching, but there are an array of things to occupy your curiousities. I can say that New Jersey has some of the best lakes and waterways to try out your kayak or canoe. My favorite spot is Union Lake NJ and the many tributaries that empty into the largest man-made NJ lake. Union Lake is in Millville and oh, yes I am a little bias being that it is my hometown. I have lived here my entire life and have yet to explore the Delsea Drive In, but I have taken pictures of it.
