Dear friends: VisitNJ.org
Welcome New Jersey!
to

THE GARDEN STATE CONTINUES TO GROW AS A WORLD-CLASS TOURIST
DESTINATION. This past year, we witnessed the strength, compassion and generosity
of our residents in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. New Jerseyans came together to
help rebuild our communities, reopen our businesses and restore our beautiful Jersey
Shore. It’s with great pride that we can let the nation know that New Jersey is indeed
open for business!
Our 130 miles of coastline invite you to relax along long stretches of soft sand. Our
shore towns are complete with beautiful barrier islands and bays, and remain guarded
by luminous historic lighthouses. From surfi ng, boating, fresh and salt water fi shing to
bird watching, amusement and water park fun, the undeniable allure of New Jersey’s
Chris Christie
diverse landscape offers an environment of breathtaking beauty for all to enjoy. Governor
From Newark to Hoboken, New Brunswick to Jersey City, New Jersey’s vibrant cities are
the center of the state’s arts and cultural activity. Art lovers can indulge their passions at
fi ne museums and galleries in towns like Morristown, Red Bank, Cape May and Millville,
while historic villages, battlefi elds and world-class performing arts centers abound.
History buffs can retrace America’s Revolutionary War victory and relive the innovations
of Thomas Edison in the state that has the most historic venues per square mile.
New Jersey also offers magnifi cent state parks and campgrounds, as well as top-
ranked golf courses, ski resorts and spas, and extraordinary entertainment and retail
destinations. Pastoral vineyards and rustic, stonewalled wineries continue to produce
some of the best wines in the country, right here in New Jersey.
Kim Guadagno
New Jersey’s natural beauty has inspired visitors for centuries, and there is no better Lieutenant Governor
time than now to explore our state with your family and friends. Invite them to meet
you in the Garden State, where you can create wonderful memories to last a lifetime.
