Cedar Point Camping
Cedar Point is the bayside answer to Hither Hills — 607 acres of pitch pine on Gardiners Bay, and almost no Atlantic surf to drown out the morning birdsong. The 1860 lighthouse offshore stopped being an island in the 1938 hurricane, which threw up the sand spit you can now walk out on.
