New Jersey has many attractions to offer visitors. Its resorts are well-known for their boardwalks, some of which date back to the 1800's. Atlantic City's casinos are a major tourist draw, as is the Six Flags Great Adventure and Wild Safari theme park. Historic attractions include the region's 18 lighthouses, and towns such as Ocean Grove, a National Historic Landmark resort.
New Jersey's Atlantic coastline is very accessible. The region's major airport is Newark Liberty International Airport, but there is also a smaller airport at Atlantic City. NJ Transit's Coast Line rail service links the area's resorts with New York City, less than an hour away, and there is a ferry service from Delaware.
Eco tourism is a growing tourism sector along the New Jersey shore. The region serves as a stop-over point for hundreds of thousands of migrating birds every year. Dolphins and humpback and finback whales can often spotted from shore.
