From Sandy Hook to Cape May, the coastal shoreline of New Jersey is lined with miles and miles of magnificent sand dunes. These gentle giants are not only beautiful to look at, but serve as stalwart protectors of the shoreline from the relentless storms that often howl up the eastern seaboard with the seriously frightening potential of destruction of life, limb and property. New Jersey is famous for its fabulous beaches, where some of their most intriguing features are those of these huge, sweeping mounds of sand.
