Everything is legal in New Jersey, so they say, but one thing’s for sure: adventure is strongly encouraged.
From Revolutionary War battlegrounds to pine forests, coastal resorts, and high-energy cities, New Jersey’s identity is built on variety. It was the third state to join the Union and the first to sign the Bill of Rights. With deep roots in American history and a rich blend of cultures, it’s no wonder the Garden State continues to offer something for everyone.
Today, over 9 million people call New Jersey home. The state’s geography ranges from the Appalachian ridges and river valleys in the north to salt marshes and Barrier Island beaches in the south. It’s a place where you can explore national parks, tour historic estates, or just roll through the streets of Newark on your way to a concert or cruise.
BBZ Limousine has been helping New Jersey locals and visitors alike enjoy these iconic destinations in style. So if you’re ready to discover the best this state has to offer, here are 10 places that should top your list.
1. Cape May
Cape May sits quietly at the southernmost tip of New Jersey, offering a unique mix of seaside calm and rich American history. As the nation’s oldest seaside resort, it once welcomed U.S. presidents and today draws travelers who want coastal beauty paired with old-world character. The town is known for its collection of over 600 restored Victorian buildings, giving every street a postcard-like quality. The entire area is recognized as a National Historic Landmark.
Start your visit with a walk or bike ride around town. You can pick up a booklet from the Washington Street Mall that maps out historic properties and stories behind each structure. Trolley tours are also available, stopping at places like the Emlen Physick Estate, where guides share insight into the lives of the Victorian elite. Some tours also include ghost stories and historical re-enactments tied to Cape May’s spiritualist past.
Cape May is also a major stop for birdwatchers. During spring and fall migrations, thousands of birds pass overhead. May brings the famous World Series of Birding, where visitors try to spot the highest number of species in one day. The Cape May Point Lighthouse offers views from 199 steps above the ground, where you can watch the waves roll in or catch the sunset across the Delaware Bay.
Outdoor activities are everywhere. You can paddle through the salt marshes, go dolphin watching, rent a surfboard, or relax on wide, sandy beaches. If you prefer staying on land, stroll past gardens and historic streets or visit seasonal festivals that celebrate food, music, and maritime heritage.
2. Atlantic City
Atlantic City has long been associated with casinos and boardwalks, but for many visitors today, it offers a lot more than a roll of the dice. Just a three-hour bus ride from New York City or 90 minutes from Philadelphia, AC is easy to reach without the stress of airports. That convenience alone makes it an attractive option for a quick beach escape.
The beaches are wide, sandy, and, best of all, free. Visitors can walk straight from their resort or casino onto the shore without paying a cent. The boardwalk is packed with things to do, including Steel Pier, where rides and arcade games bring out the kid in everyone. Evening fireworks and drone shows light up the sky for families and couples alike.
Atlantic City also holds its own in the culinary world. While celebrity chef restaurants like Gordon Ramsay Steak and Bobby Flay’s burger joint attract plenty of buzz, visitors will also find standout local spots.
Resorts like Ocean Casino are practically self-contained vacations. With pools, spas, live entertainment, casinos, and dining all on-site, some travelers don’t feel the need to venture far. Even so, it’s worth exploring the city’s hotel lobbies, where you’ll find unexpected gems like a silver Rolls-Royce once owned by Elvis Presley at the Hard Rock Hotel.
For big nights out, you’ll want to check out our Concert Limo Service for a stylish arrival.
Atlantic City might not be perfect, but it’s full of surprises for anyone willing to look past the slot machines.
3. New Jersey’s Wine Trails
New Jersey is home to over 40 wineries and vineyards, offering everything from dry reds to fruit-forward blueberry and cranberry wines. If you’re planning a tasting weekend, you’re in luck, each region has something special to pour:
- Vintage North Jersey Trail spans Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon, and Mercer counties with rustic countryside views and boutique wineries.
- Cape May Wine Trail offers coastal charm and six growing wineries—ideal for beach-goers who want a glass with their view.
- Hunterdon County Wine Trail is often called the “Napa Valley” of New Jersey thanks to its scenic hills and year-round events.
- Two Bridges Trail runs through Gloucester and Salem counties, where you’ll find picturesque vineyards near the Delaware River.
- Holiday Wine Trail Weekend at Bellview Winery in Landisville features cranberry wines, acoustic music, and cozy fire pits each November.
Wineries like Tomasello and DiMatteo also craft blueberry, apple, and cranberry wines. You’ll even find dessert pairings like Working Dog’s blueberry wine served with vanilla ice cream.
For those looking to tour without the driving hassle, BBZ Limo offers a premium Wine Tour Limo Service that pairs comfort with curated routes. Perfect for groups, couples, or anyone planning a celebration.
4. Liberty State Park
Liberty State Park is a peaceful escape with one of the most iconic views in America. Located in Jersey City, this 1,200-acre park sits right across the Hudson River from Lower Manhattan. On clear days, you can see the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the full New York skyline while strolling the two-mile Liberty Walk promenade. It’s a favorite spot for morning runs, family picnics, or just relaxing near the waterfront.
The park is also home to the Liberty Science Center, a hands-on museum with planetarium shows, live demonstrations, and interactive exhibits for all ages. History buffs can visit the Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal, where immigrants once continued their journey after arriving at Ellis Island. BBZ can arrange group and family drop-offs, so all you need to do is enjoy the skyline views and take in the breeze.
5. MetLife Stadium
Just outside New York City in East Rutherford, MetLife Stadium is the proud home of the NFL’s New York Giants and New York Jets. With a seating capacity of over 80,000, it’s also hosted major concerts, international soccer matches, and WrestleMania. For sports fans and live music lovers, it’s one of the biggest draws in the state.
Parking and traffic can get hectic, especially during high-attendance events. BBZ offers private transportation services that make arrival smooth and stylish. Instead of fighting through tailgates or waiting for rideshares, your driver can drop you off steps from the entrance and be ready to pick you up when the show’s over. If you’re planning a group trip to a concert or game, this is one of our most requested destinations.
6. Asbury Park
Asbury Park is one of the most creatively charged beach towns on the East Coast. It rose to fame in the 20th century as a boardwalk destination and music hotspot, giving artists like Bruce Springsteen their start at venues like The Stone Pony.
Today, it still has that same energy, with an added wave of art galleries, vintage shops, and independent restaurants.
The boardwalk stretches alongside a wide, sandy beach, and the city’s colorful murals and unique architecture give it real personality. There’s something happening year-round, from summer beach festivals to winter markets and parades. It’s a popular pick for bachelorette parties, engagement shoots, and friends’ weekends, and our team often helps groups make a day of it with private rides and door-to-door service.
7. Princeton
Princeton is a town that embodies elegance and academia with ease. Its tree-lined streets, historic buildings, and Princeton University campus give it a storybook feel. Visitors can tour Nassau Hall, stop by the University Art Museum, or attend lectures and concerts that are often open to the public.
Palmer Square offers boutique shopping and farm-to-table dining, while nearby parks and gardens make it easy to step into nature. Families love it for educational outings, and couples often choose it for relaxed weekend getaways.
If you’re planning a visit, we can schedule a custom route so you can explore the town at your pace, no campus map required!
8. Hoboken
Just across the river from Manhattan, Hoboken offers the skyline views without the city rush. This mile-square city is a local favorite for waterfront picnics, rooftop bars, and community events. Sinatra Drive provides a scenic walking path that’s perfect for sunset photos, and the pier parks host seasonal festivals and pop-up shops.
It’s also home to Carlo’s Bakery, made famous by TV’s Cake Boss, and the Hoboken Historical Museum. For people traveling in and out of New York, Hoboken is a convenient stop on the way, and our chauffeurs are familiar with the best routes and loading zones in this often-busy area.
9. The Jersey Shore
The Jersey Shore offers something different in every town.
In the north, you’ll find boardwalk games and family attractions in Point Pleasant Beach and Seaside Heights. Head south and the vibe shifts to laid-back beach towns like Ocean Grove, Spring Lake, and Stone Harbor.
Some visitors return every summer to the same rental homes, while others bounce from beach to beach for food festivals, sandcastle contests, and sunset cruises. BBZ often handles full-day itineraries and multi-stop rides along the shore. It’s the easiest way to travel in comfort, whether you’re catching a beach wedding or planning a no-stress vacation.
10. Bayonne Cruise Port (Cape Liberty)
Cape Liberty Cruise Port in Bayonne is one of the busiest cruise departure points in the region. Located just minutes from Newark Liberty International Airport, it’s a popular launching spot for cruises to the Caribbean, Bermuda, Canada, and beyond. For travelers flying in from other states or driving from nearby cities, it’s an easy place to start a longer journey.
Instead of leaving parking and luggage juggling to chance, many guests use BBZ’s cruise transportation service. We’ll handle pickup from your home or hotel and drop you off right at the terminal so you can board relaxed and on time. When you return, we’re there to greet you and take you back.
