Sea Bright Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

It’s a drawbridge that opens on-demand during off-peak season and every 30min when requested during on-peak season… but, it’s quick so if you get caught at the open bridge on bike or foot, just relax a minute and enjoy the views :)

Nike Missile Launch Site NY-56

Highlight • Historical Site

Nike Missile Launch Site NY-56 is also known as the Sandy Hook Nike Launch Site or Fort Hancock. During the Cold War, this was one of the most highly classified launch sites in the country. Now a public park, in the last 50 or so years the park would have looked very different; heavily armed patrols were given permission to release attack dogs and shoot trespassers.

Fort Hancock Officer's Row

Highlight • Historical Site

Go early in the morning to have the sunrise behind the old officers houses and the lighthouse in your background. Or go in the evening to stand with the officers houses at your back and watch the sunset over the hills of Highlands, Atlantic Highlands and the Raritan Bay… catch it at the right time of the year and you can watch the sunset looking one way and the moonrise looking the other way :)
