2014 Map of Sandy Hook East

About this map

Gateway National Recreation Area dominates the peninsula of this coastal survey, where the narrow landform of Sandy Hook separates the Atlantic Ocean from the complex inner waterways. The terrain is marked by shifting sands and small islands such as Skeleton Hill Island and South Island within Spermaceti Cove. On the mainland, the elevation rises sharply toward Atlantic Highlands and the Highlands of Navesink, overlooking the confluence of the Navesink River and Shrewsbury River. This 2014 mapping reveals a landscape shaped by coastal defense and recreation, with Hartshorne Dr and Atlantic Dr providing access to the peninsula. Southward, the residential and vacation corridor along Ocean Ave connects coastal communities like Sea Bright, Navesink Beach, and Normandie along the thin barrier beach.
