Two Happy Places Got More Votes Than All The Other Happy Places

We got a lot of terrific answers, but we noticed we were getting two answers more than any others.

We decided to celebrate both, so we are proud to present the top 2 New Jersey happy places, according to your votes.

#2 Point Pleasant Beach/Manasquan Inlet. Is there anything that can put your mind at ease than the serenity of the ocean, the inlet, boats, seagulls, and a gentle breeze? It's beautiful on both sides of the Inlet.

#1 Cape May. Yes, a whole town can be a happy place, and if any town can pull it off, it's the amazing Cape May. You have voted it the top happy place in New Jersey.
