Beginning in the shadow of the Manhattan skyline, New Jersey's industrial operations are the economic lifeblood of America's Eastern seaboard. Here we explore the NY/NJ port and the shipping lanes of the Arthur Kill. Heading south, we trace the lower New Jersey coast - along Long Branch, Island Beach State Park, and Chadwick Beach - leading to one of America's historic getaway spots - Atlantic City. Inland, we explore vast tracts of marshlands, Ramapo Mountain State Forest - and enjoy the fall colours of the spectacular Skylands region.
