You can't visit New Jersey in the summer and not experience the Jersey Shore beaches. While you will find us primarily at North End or Brielle Road in Manasquan, other popular beaches in the area include Point Pleasant Beach, Bay Head, Sea Girt, Spring Lake, and Asbury Park.
Don't forget cash though! All of the NJ beaches require beach badges or daily passes to get on. Access is free for military and their families with a military ID.
There is also a military beach in Sea Girt that is accessible to any service members.
Other popular east coast destinations are Long Beach Island, Atlantic City, Avalon, and Cape May - but all of these are quite a drive south from Point Pleasant.
Your typical Jersey Shore boardwalk with lots of food options, bars, and games. It's a great location for anyone traveling with kids. If you're lucky, you may even catch Doug O'Connell bouncing at Martel's Tiki Bar.
Visit Gage's hometown and stop in some of our favorite stores and restaurants.
Waterlily is one of Megan's favorite retail shops.
You can also try a Burgernut (cheeseburger on a donut) at The Committed Pig.
Main Street normally closes to auto traffic on Thursday nights in the summer for fun events!
A popular tourist destination for anyone visiting central/north Jersey. There are lots of amazing restaurants and things to do in Asbury Park. One of our favorite restaurants is Sirena Ristorante.
If you're into live music, The Stone Pony is a great outdoor venue that puts on amazing summer concerts!
