July 31, 2024, Raitan Bay Waterfront Park

The Raitan Bay Waterfront Park was the first park to be built on the Raritan Bay. There is a big lawn, two beaches and several dirt trails. It is a good spot for a break during your ride, as there are benches and a picnic area.

A natural paradise for waterfowl and turtles. The cliffs to the water are too unsafe and therefore cordoned off. There is a lighthouse with a great history on the edge of the reserve.
