Welcome to Jersey Shore

Close your eyes for a moment and imagine the warmth of the sun on your skin… the symphony of crashing waves and seagulls’ cries… the scent of suntan lotion floating on the salty ocean breeze. You’re exactly where you want to be. You’re at the Jersey Shore.

The Jersey Shore is more than an idyllic haven for visitors and the locals lucky enough to live there— it is nothing short of a state of mind! Its pristine beaches are dotted with vibrant seaside towns — Belmar, Spring Lake, Sea Girt, Manasquan, Brielle, Point Pleasant, and Bay Head — each with its own unique character and perfect blend of coastal beauty, family-friendly attractions, and charming downtowns.

The golden sand and sparkling waters of the Atlantic Ocean provide a delightful backdrop for sunbathers, swimmers, and surfers of all ages. Nature enthusiasts will also enjoy the scenic Manasquan River and Inlet for boating, fishing, and crabbing.

Beyond the beaches and waterways, visitors can stroll through picturesque downtowns to explore art galleries and unique shops offering everything from stylish beachwear and home furnishings to handmade crafts and specialty foods. The exciting culinary scene caters to diverse tastes, serving up fresh seafood, classic Italian cuisine, and casual beachside fare.

Several popular annual events and festivals held in each town include: the Belmar Pro Surf Competition, the Spring Lake Five Mile Run, Sea Girt’s Holiday Market, the Algonquin Arts Theatre Broadway Boardwalk Bash in Manasquan, Brielle Day, the Point Pleasant Beach Seafood Festival, and Bay Head’s Wounded Veterans and John Callahan Classic Boat Regattas. These gatherings are beloved traditions, with many serving up local talent, live music performances, and delicious epicurean delights that showcase the area’s welcoming vibe.

For some old-fashioned family fun that captures the essence of the Jersey Shore experience, be sure to head to nearby Jenkinson’s Boardwalk! This cherished attraction offers amusement rides, games, arcades, an aquarium and classic treats like pizza, frozen custard, saltwater taffy, and funnel cakes.

Whether you’re seeking seaside relaxation, boardwalk thrills, exciting recreation, or a fun day of exploring local shops and restaurants, the Jersey Shore truly offers a delightful coastal escape for all to enjoy.
