Is there any sight as memorable as a beautiful sunset? There’s just something so awe-inspiring about watching the sun dip below the horizon and the darkness of night start to kick in.
There are a lot of beautiful places to watch this phenomenon in New Jersey, but our favorite might be a beach that’s become famed for its sunsets thanks to its unique position in the state.

If you're trying to see a perfect sunset in New Jersey, you need to head to the aptly-named Sunset Beach.

They also flock here for the beautiful lighthouse, its proximity to the ever-sinking warship U.S.S. Atlantus, and the Cape May "diamonds" (pieces of quartz) that dot the beach.
So, what makes the sunset here so special? Well, it has to do with the beach's location.
