Cumberland and Salem Counties, NJ

I'm thinking of heading down to Cumberland and/or Salem Counties in New
Jersey later this month. They are in the southernmost portion of NJ,
adjacent to the Delaware Bay.
What would be your recommendations for sightseeing, restaraunts,
must-see places?
Any info. that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Cordially,
James Reston

Fort Mott State Park in Salem County; nearby you can walk across the
land border between New Jersey and Delaware!

I live in NJ, about 45 minutes north of there. I cannot imagine for the
life of me why anyone would go out of their way to visit either area for
a vacation this time of year, or any other for that matter. What is it
that interests you about Cumberland and Salem Counties? Why not go to
somewhere else in NJ that is interesting? For example, Cape May is nice
any time of year, with its quaint old inns, restaurants, shopping, etc.
Cumberland and Salem Counties are mostly blue collar industrial areas,
not vacation spots.

My main interest in traveling there is that it's a place that I've never
been to before and I'm intrigued about what I've heard of it. I don't
have any interest in the industrial areas, rather the wide open spaces,
nature preserves, and quaint towns near the Delaware Bay that were
described in the article that I read.
Cape May's great but I've been there before and its definitely a summer
destination.

Fill up your gas tank there as that part of NJ has the lowest gas prices in
the state.
