The sun rises over our eastern shores making for a beautiful sight along New Jersey beaches but we aren’t all about the sunrise. New Jersey offers stunning sunsets as well which don’t require you to be up before dawn. Here are several that will have you heading out before dusk to catch a glimpse for yourself.
