New Jersey’s beaches are beautiful no matter the time of year, and many feature fishing piers that provide an up-close look at the state’s oceans and rivers. However, one pier in Ventnor City takes the experience to a new level. The Ventnor City Fishing Pier is the longest pier in New Jersey, spanning over a thousand feet, and it offers a hike unlike any other. It’s open at all times of the year, and during the colder months it’s isolated – meaning you might have the amazing views all to yourself. It’s also only minutes away from the Ventnor City downtown, where you’ll find one of the state’s most charming cafes.There’s no reason to wait until the weather warms up – the Ventnor City Fishing Pier is waiting for visitors.

Ventnor City is a small beachside city in southern New Jersey, but it has one surprising feature.

How long? It even has a halfway point where you can relax and take a load off. At roughly a quarter-mile, it’s one of the most memorable hikes you can take.

The pier is also right by the beach, where you can see beautiful white sands and some surprising seashell artwork.
