Ready to be Charmed by the Jersey Shore?

As a Midwesterner, I’ve always been more familiar with the Great Lakes than the Jersey Shore, until very recently. My favorite little Oceanside town, Cape May, New Jersey, reminds me of a small Northern Michigan beach village with the enormous Hydrangea, candy-colored Victorian homes and hotels and wholesome beach fun. This guide routes you through Philadelphia and either a 2-hour car or bus ride to get you to the beach. If you’re looking for a nostalgic, family-friendly coastal getaway, this is your place. While you’re there, grab some extra salt water taffy for me!

Greetings From Asbury Park - A Local’s Guide to the Coolest Spot on the Jersey Shore

Curated by
Kate Kelley
When I first moved from NYC to live with my future husband in New Jersey, I knew virtually nothing about the state except that it was across the river from Manhattan and that Bruce Springsteen was a proud resident. I owned his first record, titled "Greetings from Asbury Park", so I thought I’d go explore and see what that place was all about. Little did I know that I’d grow to love it so much, I would eventually get married there!
Asbury Park is a beach town on the Jersey Shore that feels like the perfect juxtaposition of my favorite places—a walkable city with a vibrant food and drink scene and opportunities to find great music at any given time, as well as a beautiful beach town with a laid back feel where all are welcome. There’s plenty of things to do, both indoors and out, and I have to say, the vibes are just excellent. I’ve become a proud Jersey local and Asbury Park is hands down my favorite place to hang out, and an ideal location to the spend a long weekend.
