Known as the “Pearl of the Bayshore, ” Keyport is a former oyster industry hub on the scenic shores of Raritan Bay. Peek into the borough’s past on Front Street, where 19th-century storefronts now house boutiques and antique shops, including Honey Hole Antiques, where you can pick up old-fashioned cameras, dolls and more, and Karen’s Treasures, a great place to purchase gently used gold and silver jewelry.

The streets of Lambertville, dubbed “The Antiques Capital of New Jersey, ” are peppered with preserved 18th- and 19th-century homes.
