Highlands

Highlands combines a working waterfront with a breezy coastal setting in a way that reflects its position on Sandy Hook Bay beside the Atlantic-facing Sandy Hook peninsula. The borough sits at the northern edge of New Jersey’s Jersey Shore, where ferries, marinas and seafood restaurants share the shoreline with routes toward New York Harbor. Above the community, the Twin Lights of Navesink lighthouse station recalls the coast’s long role in maritime navigation; its present twin towers date from 1862. Nearby Sandy Hook, part of Gateway National Recreation Area, preserves beaches, dunes and historic military sites.
