Welcome to SBO and Congratulations on your boat!
I agree with the sailing lessons. Barnegat Bay Sailing School at Cedar Creek on the Barnegat Bay is a good place to start.
Are you a power boater? If not, download a chart plotting app on your smartphone or tablet. Navionics is a popular one. Learn to read the charts. Check out the possible sailing areas near your location, paying attention to water depth.
Unfortunately there does not appear to be many sailing areas near your location, which appears to be just inside Absecon Inlet. (unless there are two Gardner Basins in NJ)
If you don't have power boating and ocean experience and are planning to learn to sail in the ocean, don't.
If you're planning to sail in the back bays, most of them are too shallow.
The closest bay with deep enough water is Great Bay.
As
@jssailem said, use your boat as a power boat for a bit and get used to it while you learn about your sail rigging and such.
One of the first things you should do is get towing insurance. BoatUS is the most poplar on the Barnegat Bay. The other one is SeaTow. About $130 per year. Unless you stay in the ocean, you will get stuck.
