Sandy Hook, Raritan Bay & Environs
Looking northeast: Port Monmouth, Belford, the Navy pier, Sandy Hook, and Long Island are visible faintly in the distance.

This bay is muddy and turbid, although some folks dive the several small wrecks around the inside of Sandy Hook. Bottle hunting around the old piers and pilings in Keyport harbor is also a possibility, but most of the structures along the bay shore are too small and shallow to be of interest. I have scouted the shoreline from Atlantic Highlands to Laurence Harbor, and nothing looks too promising. See also entries on Navesink River and Horseshoe Cove.
