Hotels in South Jersey

Forget the turnpike jokes - South Jersey delivers Atlantic beaches with sand wide enough for everyone's beach umbrella. Boardwalks blend nostalgia and kitsch, with saltwater taffy still pulled in storefront windows. Atlantic City's casinos offer entertainment without Vegas pretension. Climb Cape May's lighthouse for views that explain those Victorian wraparound porches. The Pine Barrens hide cedar-stained streams where canoes glide past carnivorous plants. Local diners serve scrapple and pork roll without explanation. Catch summer concerts at the historic Broadway Theatre or explore the Battleship New Jersey towering above the Delaware River. Families enjoy Clementon Park's rides and Diggerland's construction-themed adventures.
