Besides
the beaches, the Seaside Heights boardwalk is the main attraction.
Every summer while rowing up we would escape the city and go to the
beach for a long time. Dad would drive in to work and we would
enjoy the pleasant ocean breeze.
During the winter months you will find arcades, and pubs open. There is a calm and casual atmosphere. Some boardwalk attractions may be open depending on the weather.
In the summer months, everything is open and geared for the crowds. The boardwalk consists of many wheels of chance where prizes range from small stuffed animals to TV's, bicycles, and scooters.
Children
and adults alike always have a great time!
Aroma from the many pizza shops, sausage stands, and cotton candy machines tempt every body's taste buds-including the Seagulls!
The
Jersey Shore is a term used in the mid-Atlantic region of the United
States to refer to the Atlantic Ocean- facing coast of New Jersey,
together with the adjacent resort and residential communities. Its
popularity as a tourist destination is due in large part to the
nearly continuous stretch of beaches along its length, classic
themes (antique, quaint, and classic), and boardwalks filled with
hundreds of rides.
The shore represents one of the most booming real estate markets on the East Coast as its prominence as a tourist destination and vacation spot has risen greatly in the past decade.
The Jersey Shore is home to many world-famous boardwalks in towns including Asbury Park, Belmar, Point Pleasant Beach, Seaside Heights, Atlantic City, Ocean City, Wildwood, and Cape May.
Geographically,
the term encompasses the New Jersey coast from Sandy Hook in the
north to Cape May in the south and excludes the estuaries of New
York Bay and Delaware Bay.
The Jersey Shore area includes Atlantic, Cape May and Ocean counties, along with the resort towns in Monmouth county and the small shoreline edge of Burlington county.
Citizens of certain areas of the Shore are unique in New Jersey because some communities often have mixed affiliations between New York and Philadelphia.
There are also areas that get both New York and Philadelphia tourists. While there is no defined border between North and South, the Manasquan River or Interstate 195 are often mentioned
