3 ABOUT
Southern NJ is a treasure trove of charm with a wealth of unforgettable experiences. Overflowing with historic museums, one-of-a-kind outdoor adventures, farm-fresh restaurants, acclaimed wineries, breweries and more, we offer something special for everyone. Take a scenic hike through the interconnected trails forged throughout the Pinelands. Wander into the past and explore still-active, centuries-old ironworks. Top off an eventful day with a glass at one of over 30 wineries scattered throughout the region. Get your tickets to some of the best concerts, art shows, festivals, sporting events, and theatrical productions on the East Coast. The Garden State, in recent years, has also become a great place for LGBTQ+ families to live openly. Cape May has almost 20 hotels and bed and breakfasts that are gay-friendly or gay-owned. And Collingswood has been gay-friendly for a long time!
