The New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail Route was established in 1988 through federal legislation to raise awareness about and support public stewardship and protection of natural and cultural resources along 300 miles of New Jersey coastline. The Trail's project area includes the coastal region along the Raritan Bay from Perth Amboy to Sandy Hook, the entire Atlantic coast of New Jersey south to Cape May, and the Delaware Bay and River from Cape May to Deepwater near the Delaware Memorial Bridge.

The New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail Route works through partnerships with federal, state, and local agencies and nonprofit organizations. There are nearly sixty cooperating locations that serve as Trail destinations.
