New Jersey Has Some Of the Best Sunsets In The Country

A large part of that has to do with the Jersey Shore, in my opinion. There's nothing better than driving over to your favorite island and catching a gorgeous sunset to wrap up your day.

You don't even have to cross a bridge to see the sunset over the water if you don't want to. Places like Beachwood and Ocean Gate have amazing sunset views, and a lot less of a crowd, which is always a plus.

That being said, experts have apparently revealed the one New Jersey Beach that has the best sunset views, and after going there this past weekend, I'd have to agree.

New Jersey's Best Beach For Sunsets

It's all in the name, according to APP, the best place to catch a sunset in New Jersey is none other than Sunset Beach in Cape May.

You can catch amazing views of the sunset as the sun disappears behind the Delaware Bay, and you can still see the sunken remains of the SS Atlantus, a cement ship that sank just a few hundred feet off the coast.

What also makes Sunset Beach special is that between Memorial Day and Labor Day, they have a flag-raising and lowering ceremony near the beach.
