Number 2 on the list is the gorgeous Island Beach State Park. It's a favorite of locals and tourists. The trick of course, is to get there before it reaches capacity. This amazing spot definitely deserves it's lofty place on this list. Just nudging its way into the top 5 is Six Flags Great Adventure. It's thrills and chills and just awesome family fun, and there it is right in our backyard. Lucky us! Who doesn't want a summer Great Adventure! It's an amazing lighthouse and the Barnegat Lighthouse State Park has a great showing on this list. This beautiful spot secures spot #
