New Jersey’s 130 miles of coastline are home to some of the best beaches in the country, as voted in the USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards for 2025. A panel of travel experts picked their favorites, and readers chose The Wildwoods as the top beach, known for its huge 500-yard-wide sands, beach taxi service, and fun boardwalk with volleyball, surfing, and more. Other top spots include Ocean City’s family-friendly beaches, Atlantic City’s famous boardwalk, and Cape May’s charming Victorian vibe. The American Coastal Coalition is pleased to see three of its members - the Borough of Avalon, the City of North Wildwood, and Long Beach Township - all ranked among the top 10. The American Coastal Coalition (ACC) works to protect America's beaches, supporting efforts to keep them beautiful and sustainable against erosion and climate change.
