This could be NJ’s most underrated beach

Maybe you thought you saw everything New Jersey has to offer, but have you been to the beach with the concrete sunken ship?

Is This New Jersey’s Most Underrated Beach?

There is a beach in New Jersey that doesn’t get as much hype and publicity as some of the others, but it ranks among the best beaches in the state.

We all know about the amazing beaches in Point Pleasant Beach, Seaside Heights, Asbury Park, Sandy Hook, and Manasquan, but there is a beach in Lower Township named a top 5 New Jersey beach by Timeout, that often flies under the radar.

And, in addition to all the things we love about beaches, this one features a sunken concrete ship from World War I.

Have You Ever Been To Sunset Beach?

The beach I’m talking about is Sunset Beach. I was in Cape May one summer weekend a few years ago, and I took a drive to soak in the scenery, and happened upon Sunset Beach.
