Atlantic City, NJ. We did the the Jersey Shore in 3 hops. Cape May, NJ to Atlantic City where we anchored for the night, Atlantic City to Manasquan Inlet, where we stayed at a marina, and Manasquan to Sandy Hook. We found the entrances to be well marked, wide and deep, but they may have been troublesome in strong east winds. A lot of the cruisers will do this 120 mile stretch in one hop, which includes an overnight sail.

Anchored on the west side of Sandy Hook. The area suffered a lot of damage from Hurricane Sandy in 2012. These houses are boarded up, maybe as a result of flood damage during the storm. In the background is the Sandy Hook light house. There has been a lighthouse here since the before the revolutionary war. The area is on the landing path for JFK airport, and at times there were jets lined up a minute apart to land.
