Getting to the Port
From Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)
EWR is about 9 miles from Cape Liberty — a 15-20 min drive when the Turnpike behaves, making it the closest and most convenient airport. Traffic on the NJ Turnpike can add time during rush hours.
From JFK International Airport (JFK)
JFK is about 45-60 minutes from Cape Liberty, depending on traffic. You'll cross through Brooklyn or take the Belt Parkway to the Verrazzano Bridge and up through Staten Island, or go through Manhattan and the Holland Tunnel.
From Penn Station / Manhattan
If you're coming from Midtown Manhattan, take the NJ Transit Hudson-Bergen Light Rail from Hoboken or drive through the Holland Tunnel to the NJ Turnpike south. The drive is about 30-45 minutes depending on tunnel traffic.
Driving & Port Parking
Take the NJ Turnpike to Exit 14A, follow Route 440 South, then turn left on Port Terminal Blvd. Continue past the guard gate and follow signs to the terminal. The covered garage sits about 750 feet from the terminal, a two-minute walk, but general parking only gets it off-peak: in peak season the garage is held for guests with a valid visible placard or a wheelchair-symbol plate, and everyone else uses the overflow surface lots with a free three-minute shuttle.
