2016 Map of Sandy Hook East

About this map

Gateway National Recreation Area dominates the northern peninsula of this coastal survey, preserving the unique geography of Sandy Hook and its surrounding waters. The map details the delicate balance between the maritime environment and the dense residential communities of the Jersey Shore. Settlements like Highlands, Waterwitch, and Atlantic Highlands are clustered along the southern shores of Raritan Bay, where the land rises toward Upper Rocky Point. The narrow barrier beach extends south through Navesink Beach and Sea Bright, separating the Atlantic Ocean from the Shrewsbury River and the Intracoastal Waterway. This 2016 edition documents the modern road network, including Memorial Pkwy and Ocean Ave, alongside persistent natural features like Spermaceti Cove and Skeleton Hill Island.
