Written Directions

The route starts in Allentown NJ on County Road 539 south, you take 539 all the way to Route 72 East where you will end up in Long Beach Island.

Scenery

The route goes through the small town of Allentown that is very scenic and then changes into the New Jersey Pine Barrens. After that it changes again to the beach community of Long Beach Island and the surrounding area.

Drive Enjoyment

Allentown is average but 539 is perfectly paved. 72 is good but you are mostly on 539 for the trip. Overall, it is nicely paved most of the way. Two lanes that are not very busy and a little hilly and it feels like you are lost which is great!!

Tourism Opportunities

Most of 539 is in the pine barrens and is pretty deserted but 72 has lots of places for fun. The route includes local businesses from Allentown, Cousin Paintball on 539, and all sorts of restaurants and attractions on 72 .

Nice simple ride. Watch for animals crossing the highway.
