No, wrong side of the State. You need to head East.

No, take the Parkway South.

WE HAVE A WINNER!!! That's Mosquito Cove in Cattus Island County Park in Toms River.

Plausible. It looked like this on Monday.
Dead_Is_Better OP t1_j9rfy3j wrote
No, u/haironf1re got the correct answer of Cattus Island County Park in Toms River. The photo is of Mosquito Cove which is within the park boundaries.
Geddysbass t1_j9rgacn wrote
Then somewhere connected to Barnegat bay?

Who TF considers TR to be Central Jersey?
Dead_Is_Better OP t1_j9rgrph wrote
Yes. U/haironf1re got the correct answer of Cattus Island County Park about 10mins ago. The photo is of Mosquito Cove which is within the park boundaries and part of Barnegat Bay.

We went on a 6th grade field trip there. I remember a girl picked something up off the ground to ask me what it was and I had to inform her it was deer poop.
Dead_Is_Better OP t1_j9rj3ih wrote
There's no shortage of deer and their poop in Cattus that's for sure.

No way Tom’s River should be considered Central Jersey. I live in the heart of central Jersey (somerset county) and it’s not even close. Tom’s River is shore territory.
That said, I originally thought it was Cheesequake Marshlands aka Matawan Creek.

Yes! I’d like to thank my youngest brother (he’s out here somewhere on Reddit and won’t tell me his name) he introduced me to this lovely spot. Very beautiful. I recommend checking it out. This was a fun game!
Dead_Is_Better OP t1_j9rk79u wrote
Divide the State in thirds. Where's TR? Right there in Central Jersey. Albeit lower Central Jersey but Central Jersey nonetheless.
sweetbldnjesus t1_j9rkx12 wrote
South Jersey starts at Lacey. It is known.
ShoreMama t1_j9rlczw wrote
We’ll have to agree to disagree on that as I consider our state to be North Jersey, Central Jersey, South Jersey and the shore.
Dead_Is_Better OP t1_j9rliz6 wrote
It's a beautiful place indeed. I'm old enough to have spent time there before it became a park and you could still drive all the way out to the bay.
Dead_Is_Better OP t1_j9rmw90 wrote
I'll do no such thing lol. TR is Central Jersey and its proximity to the Shore does not change that fact.
playdohplaydate t1_j9rmy8e wrote
That’s Brick
Edit: saw the answer I was so close LOL
johnnyss1 t1_j9rnlww wrote
I consider that the shore actually.

Brick. North of TR. In South Jersey (or on the Shore), but I've never heard anyone refer to Ocean County as Central Jersey (or vice versa).

Ah that’s what I was thinking. Toms River ain’t central Jersey!!! 😂😆

Not even close to central lmao
bakingeyedoc t1_j9s1e0a wrote
Central is between 78 and 195. Aka not Tom’s River.
Tom’s River has zero cultural association with actual central Jersey.

That’s south jersey the post says it is in central

I was a bit confused to, because I draw the line to South Jersey around the Monmouth County border.

I'm from Ocean County and I equally hear people her refer to Ocean County as both Central Jersey and South Jersey
Dead_Is_Better OP t1_j9tjw5y wrote
The ashes of my Grandparents and my Uncle have been spread in that cove over the years. I wasn't exactly on board with that but my Nan (Grandmother) loved Cattus because it reminded her of where she grew up in England so, because we couldn't split them up, that's where they are. It's a beautiful place to go visit them.

what is it then?

South jersey I thought but now that I look at it, Central Jersey.

Grew up just outside TR. it absolutely does. Felt the “same” with everything up to about Woodbridge. Start heading south of TR into Lacey and south THEN shit starts getting weird.
ajfili t1_j9tyq56 wrote
Problem is you can’t draw that line by county. Grew up touching TR.
Southern Ocean County I’ve experienced “lawnmower racing” fueled by everyone drinking home made moonshine out of mason jars.
That shit does not happen in the northern half.
Dead_Is_Better OP t1_j9tzaox wrote
Alright, try to follow closely. North Jersey is anything North of the Driscoll Bridge (Raritan River) to the NY State line, while Central Jersey is anything South of the Driscoll Bridge down to Lacey Twnshp (where TR is within), and South Jersey is anything from Lacey Twnshp down to Cape May. These areas run East to West from the Shore to the Delaware Bay/River/PA State line. Everyone who disagrees about this are splitting hairs for the sake of being argumentative (that would be you) and most likely call Pork Roll 'Taylor Ham', drive like idiots, and root for the Eagles.

Nobody was arguing simply repectfully disagreeing,,,,also, yes I say Taylor Ham, I used to drive like an idiot, and hate the Eagles. My part of central Jersey roots for the G-men!

Cheesequake or that body right off the parkway 10-15 miles south of there.
Dead_Is_Better OP t1_j9uyhef wrote
There's really not much of a difference. My friends and I used to hang out in Bellcrest quite a bit in the late 70's and early 80's and knew quite a lot of folks from that neighborhood.
letsgometros t1_j9v11ow wrote
Agree. It's not North and it's not South so Central it must be
Robotoxin t1_j9v4mll wrote
It's a shame Bellcrest Plaza is the way it is now. It used to have some good stuff in it - Arcade, pool hall, pet store, pizzaria, etc. Still has potential, but I doubt anything good comes of it
Dead_Is_Better OP t1_j9vbt70 wrote
That arcade had Pengo, which I loved, and some kick-ass Pinball machines. I miss the old Lane Drugs and McCrory's that used to be there way back when and the Foodtown is gone now as well. I was the Courier for Foodtown at the time when they closed down. It was a great job and I miss it. Now there's a chicken joint, a restaurant called Tardi's which is pretty good, there's a DQ and a gym, and the Burger King is now a Joe's Bagels. Driftwood Deli is still across the street though and still very good. I recommend the number 22.

Tom's river is designated as south jersey as its part of ocean county. As someone who lives in upper Monmouth County I do consider Tom's river south jersey.
