DESTINATION

Toms River

Whaling and shipping were major local industries. The first tourists, adventurous harbingers of today's thriving industry, reputedly arrived aboard empty seafood carts following the morning's deliveries to Philadelphia. Today locals and visitors alike enjoy the shops, coffee houses and waterfront restaurants that line Main and Water streets downtown.

Winding River Park, north on Main Street to SR 37 then 1 mile west to Hospital Road, straddles the Toms River. Within the park are two picnic areas, a small fishing pond, hiking and biking trails, a skating rink, playgrounds and a lighted softball field.
