The view off the back of "Sedge Island" in Barnegat Bay. If you hurried, you could run from one side of the tiny island to the other in less than a minute, but it's where I spent a few days several years ago for an ecology field camp course. Interestingly, nearby power plants warmed the water in the bay enough that some species of fish that normally prefer more tropical waters were caught when our class went out with a seine net.
