Bayonne is a city in New Jersey. It is home to Cape Liberty Cruise Port.
Bayonne is a largely working-class city, with a mix of private houses and small apartment buildings, just south of the larger, more built-up Jersey City and right across the Bayonne Bridge from the North Shore of Staten Island. The city is not a usual tourist destination for daytrippers from New York City, but it does have the authenticity of a suburban town with a relatively low-density, often tree-lined urban feel that harkens back to the times before gentrification. And like some of the lower-density neighborhoods in Brooklyn, Bayonne has many churches.

Safety in Cape Liberty, NJ
New Jersey is a fairly safe place to visit but do exercise common travel sense. As in most US cities, when out at night, stay in well lit and well-trafficked areas and you will be fine.
New Jersey has the highest density of car ownership in the United States so expect crowded highways and the occasional irate driver.
Although the media and other sources portray residents as "rude" and "loud," most natives are proud of their state and are more than willing to help a tourist with directions and other tips. Don't hesitate to ask for assistance.
Under no circumstances whatsoever are you to import firearms into the state. New Jersey does not recognize any out-of-state gun licenses and there are no gun offenses that are graded below a felony. Police are known to enforce these laws vigorously, and if caught with a firearm you will be prosecuted, even if you are just a hunter traveling through.
Although the Federal "Assault Weapons" Ban has expired, New Jersey still has a state ban on numerous firearms, ammunition, magazines and other weapons that are legal in other states. Federal Firearms Owner Protection Act (U.S.C. 926A) allows you to pass through NJ with firearms BUT you must not make an "unreasonable" stop. Police are allowed considerable discretion on what "reasonable" is. Stops for fuel, food, or restrooms are "reasonable". The visit to Aunt Mae NOT.
Keep in mind, New Jersey is one of the few states that bans all consumer fireworks.

Language spoken in Cape Liberty, NJ
People flock to New Jersey from all over, especially from New York City and Philadelphia, making it difficult to isolate the New Jersey accent. The true New Jersey accent is evident in native speakers like politician-turned-broadcaster Steve Adubato, United States Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, and Louis Freeh, the former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
