Beaches

We usually head to 1st Ave beach in Asbury Park. It is the closest beach to our condo and we always find a really great spot! You can also hear the music from the Stone Pony Summer Stage, which is nice on a beach afternoon.

Ocean Grove has beautiful and a bit quieter beaches. We like the one between Surf Ave and Bath Ave. There is. Bathroom right on the beach there that is very convenient.

出行

Very walkable!

We park our car and then just walk everywhere in town! You can also download the Superpedestrian app and then scoot around town. This is a small fee for this, but it is so easy to get around and fun!
出发前预订

Make dinner reservations!

It’s best to make reservations in advance as restaurants book up quickly.
