The Bayshore
8 towns · The Raritan Bay towns, the Shore before the ocean starts.
The Bayshore is the Jersey Shore before the ocean starts: the run of Raritan Bay towns from Keyport to the Highlands bluffs, looking across the water at the Manhattan skyline. It trades boardwalks for marinas, ferry docks, and some of the best fishing access in the state.
