When people think of New Jersey it is fairly common to receive responses like "industrial wasteland", "congested and polluted", and "not to much going on there". But as we all know, the majority of people are ignorant (generally speaking) and it would seem obvious that these people have not experienced all that New Jersey has to offer. I would tell these people to do themselves a favor and go visit the Atlantic coast of New Jersey where they will undoubtedly see a scenic splendor that is rivalled by very few places in the United States.

Along the Atlantic coast you will come across a treasure chest of charming communities that are beloved by tourists from all over the world. One of those places is the City of Absecon.

Absecon is a picturesque city that is situated at the confluence of Absecon Creek and Absecon Bay in southern New Jersey's Atlantic County. The marquee attraction of Atlantic City is just 5 miles eastward along State Highway 30, and the Atlantic City International Airport is one mile west from the city.

There are many things to do and see in and around Absecon. The city is a great launching pad for many water recreational activities. Boating is always a thrilling adventure where one can explore the maze of waterways that leads out to the Atlantic Ocean. Another popular attraction is the Absecon Wildlife Area, an important ecological area that is home an important stop for many migratory birds and sea mammals.
