NEW ! Great New Jersey Jaunts

From Sandy Hook to Cape May New Jersey offers 110 nautical miles of beaches, and from Manasquan to Cape May there are 118 (statute) miles of New Jersey Intra-coastal Waterway. It's a route traveled by snowbirds heading south in the Fall, north in the Spring; it's a summer playground for millions of residents of the Mid Atlantic states; and it's the home of thousands of fishing boats -- charter, sports, and commercial.

Because of the Jersey Shore's popularity and proximity, there's a wide variety of books and charts available. Here are some of those most asked for by our local customers.
