According to an article by Carina Sandoval for the Travel Pug, "These quiet havens offer respite from contemporary bustle, with working waterfronts, historic architecture, and dramatic ocean vistas providing authentic maritime experiences. These communities maintain their peaceful character through geographic isolation, limited development, or simply by standing in the shadow of their more famous neighbors."

This list of the Top 16 "quiet" towns in the Northeast is one we can use to plan getaways for us, but let's also look at their selection of the best "quiet" town in New Jersey.

According to The Travel Pug, they chose Cape May Point as Jersey's "relaxing and quiet" town. "While adjacent Cape May attracts substantial tourism, this smaller community at the peninsula’s tip maintains a more contemplative atmosphere focused on natural beauty and bird migration. The famous lighthouse stands as the area’s landmark while surrounding natural areas host one of North America’s most important bird migration monitoring stations."

Next time you are looking to "get away" and chill, put Cape May Point on your list of places to go here in the Garden State. It's simple to find, just take Exit 0 on the Garden State Parkway.
