This spot is so popular because it’s, well, a good looking lighthouse. It also is popular for night photography and because you can visit the top of the lighthouse (weather permitting). We’re sure its proximity to Island Beach State Park and Long Beach Island helps, too.
Another unsurprising pick! The Red Mill’s popularity stems from the bright red color that is a favorite among photographers, especially in the snow. Read our guide to learn all about it.
There is always something to do in Asbury Park, whether you’re downtown or on the boardwalk, which is what makes this spot one of the most photographed in the Garden State.
Check out our guide to some of the best places to shoot. Asbury is so unique because the old and the new blend together.
THE JERSEY SHORE
We hate to lump the shore towns together, but a TON of tagged pictures are people showing their sunrise or night photography skills out where there are less stars and less people.
Some favorites along the shore are he Belmar fishing pier, the jetty at Point Pleasant, the ferris wheel at Seaside Heights, or just the sunrise on the beach. Can’t get much better than that!
THE GW BRIDGE FROM FORT LEE
The most traveled bridge in the country is also the most photographed in New Jersey!
There are many vantage points to capture this bridge, including from Palisades Interstate Park and Fort Lee Historic Park, which makes this spot so appealing.
You can hike on a boardwalk trail (keep an eye out for a certain sticker!) or hike up to Pinwheel Vista. Either way, you can pretty much guarantee you’ll be snapping photos.
