Authentic working seaport with museum. It's many acres with walking trails (boardwalks) and little buildings that feature exhibits. Please see their schedule for exhibit and events. You only need to pay if you're visiting the museum. It's free to walk around the boardwalks connecting the buildings. It's a nice way to get your steps in if you're counting steps.

Parks & Nature
I really like Graveling Point beach which is right over the bridge in Osborne Island. Take Radio Road to the end past the Great May Marina. It's a really small beach and it's free. I like going there because usually I'm the only one. At night you can see Atlantic City lite up. Go during low tide, otherwise, the sandy beach disappears when it's high tide. Since it's a public free beach, there are no life guards.
Lake Absegami
Great hiking trails, canoe and kayak rentals. It also has a swimming beach.
Great Bay Marina is lovely, it's almost at end of Radio Rd. Can't miss it. There's a big sign on the left side of the road. The marina also has a little restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch.
