The Jersey Shore is the middle of it all, especially when New Jersey comes around. Millions of people come to enjoy all this world-famous destination has to offer – from the thrilling boardwalks, to the popular natural destinations. It’s enough to make you want to get away from it all – but is there anywhere to do that where the masses haven’t found it? Surprisingly, yes! Sewell Point is a barrier spit of around 2.5 miles in Cape May, best known by its other name – Poverty Beach. This was a popular spot in generations past as where the working-class residents of the area visited during the summer. Now, it’s the best secret beach in New Jersey, and you’ll be greeted by white sands and crystal-blue water as you visit it this summer.

The sandy spit far away from Cape May's most crowded areas welcomes you to the charming area known as Poverty Beach.
