New Jersey coastal tourism and erosion management
Overview
New Jersey coastal towns are engaging in significant infrastructure investments and tourism activities. To combat erosion and protect a tourism economy that generated $24.7 billion in GDP in 2024, municipalities are funding large-scale beach nourishment projects. The Army Corps of Engineers is managing multi-million dollar operations to pump millions of cubic yards of sand onto beaches in areas such as Ocean City, Sea Isle City, and Monmouth Beach.
Alongside these preservation efforts, the coastal region continues to offer diverse seasonal experiences. Destinations range from the residential atmosphere of Avon-by-the-Sea to historic landmarks like the SS Atlantus at Sunset Beach. Local tourism remains driven by traditional activities, including boardwalk visits and dining, as the summer season progresses.
