General presentation
Jersey Shore
Popular coastline of beaches, wooden walks, family resorts, lighthouses and sandy parks.
Asbury Park, Island Beach and Point Pleasant give Jersey Shore the most telling landmarks. Together, they form a destination where the coastline, urban life and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: very seasonal and summer traffic. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Seafront
Asbury Park Boardwalk
Asbury Park Boardwalk mix of beaches, musical culture, street art and seaside architecture in a very marked promenade. It gives a first image of a more urban and artistic coast of New Jersey, without losing the dimension of beach resort.
Natural beach
Island Beach State Park
Island Beach State Park Protects a long line of dunes and marshes where the coast remains more natural than in most nearby stations. By progressing in the pedestrian areas, you gain quieter beaches and a more direct bird watching.
Presquíle
Sandy Hook
Sandy Hook combining beaches, dunes, military works and a wide view of New York Harbor, which gives it a mixed character between nature and strategic memory. To browse the peninsula allows to change registers several times in the same day.
Beach resort
Point Pleasant Beach
Point Pleasant Beach assumes the popular face of the Jersey Shore : family beach, boardwalk, games, simple restaurants and the smell of frying carried by sea air. The resort is especially popular for those looking for a lively seaside day, with enough noise and movement to smell American summer.
