Most people are probably more familiar with it neighbor Atlantic City, but the quaint coastal city of Brigantine in New Jersey has its own charm and things to do. A rich history, scenic areas, quiet and clean beaches, and more help make Brigantine a destination for vacation on its own and is one of the few remaining places in the state where people can delight in a natural beach thanks to most of its shoreline being undeveloped. The city is also conveniently located around two hours from New York City and only an hour from Philadelphia.
Marine Mammal Stranding Center
The Marine Mammal Stranding Center is a sanctuary facility in Brigantine for rescued marine animals such as whales, sea lions, turtles, and dolphins.

The Marine Mammal Stranding Center includes an observation tank, education center, and gift shop, as well as an intensive care area that’s not open to the public that has a pool for nursing sick marine animals back to health.
