Above the Hook Flagstone - Highlands, NJ

Way Up North, Jersey Shore.


Above the Hook is on a mission to create apparel and stories that capture the spirit of Highlands and Sandy Hook—where adventure, creativity, and community meet. Like our home at the tip of the Shore, we’re built by resilient people who live for the water, the views, and the culture that surrounds it.

Since day one, we’ve been rooted here, creating work that feels like home: timeless gear, scenic imagery, and art that celebrate this place and share it with the world. Above the Hook isn’t just a brand—it’s a collective of people who embody the Highlands way of life, one tide at a time.

We are, Above the Hook

“Highlands, where the hills rise above Sandy Hook and meet the Atlantic. We learn to see beauty in the everyday—the shoreline after a storm, the details of driftwood, the resilience of a community shaped by the sea. Above the Hook was born as a way to share that spirit: to tell the story of this place through images, film, and art, and to remind us that what’s overlooked can become the most meaningful. Above the Hook is our way of honoring where we come from and making sure that attention, care, and creativity are never lost.”
