Looking for a comprehensive listing of “dock and dine” locations in New Jersey, where you and the crew can tie off alongside a waterfront restaurant to grab a bite and a cold drink after a long day of fishing? Thanks to the Marine Trades Association of New Jersey (MTA/NJ) and their Go Boating NJ program, you now have instant online access to a listing of New Jersey restaurants that welcome you by either land or sea.
The full online listing is listed alphabetically by town or port, from Atlantic City all the way to Wildwood Crest. Selecting highlighted restaurants from the full list online will take the user directly to the location’s website. In most instances, you can also find the LAT/LON locations in your onboard electronics or by way of boating apps like the Garmin Boating phone app (formerly Navionics).
There are roughly 90 restaurants listed in the full Go Boating NJ page of Dock & Dine NJ locations, some walking distance from the dock, others with dockside slips available onsite. Some of top ports of call in the Garden State include Highlands, Jersey City and Seaside Park with five dock and dine options, while Lake Hopatcong, Point Pleasant Beach, Somers Point and Wildwood each boast four locations.
Be sure to check the Go Boating NJ website at www.goboatingnj.org for various boating and fishing resources, and take a look at the full listing of Dock & Dine NJ locations to see if your favorite waterside eatery made the full list.
