The Cape May, NJ graticule is at 38 N, -74 W. It has very little land area, as it includes only the lower third of Cape May County. It comes within 10 miles of land Delaware and Maryland as well, and includes part of the route for the Cape May - Lewes Ferry.
It has approximately 25 sq mi of land, one third of which could be considered wetlands, in a graticule that measures 3,800 sq mi. So there's a one chance in 150 to 200 of a land-based geohash.
Or you can rent a jetski.
The good news is, velociraptors don't swim well.
