Sightseeing

Authentic working seaport with museum. It's many acres with walking trails (boardwalks) and little buildings that feature exhibits. Please see their schedule for exhibit and events. You only need to pay if you're visiting the museum. It's free to walk around the boardwalks connecting the buildings. It's a nice way to get your steps in if you're counting steps.

This is like wonderland for little ones. Not good for pre-teens or teens. Eaglewood Amusement Park would be better for teens. Storybook Land has a castle and some rides for smaller children. They also have a petting farm and children can feed the deer and goats. It's a bit pricey, $27 per person and not that many rides but for Christmas, it's decorated beautifully with lots of lights making it look like a magical place. It's 30 mins. away.

This beach is located on the end of the Jersey peninsula. You take the GSP south all the way to the end. It's over an hour drive but it's worth it because it's a Victorian coastal town. It doesn't have a boardwalk but it does have a nice town with lots of restaurants, cafes and shop. Plus it has a nice beach. You can also take the ferry across the ocean to DE and spend the day at the Delaware beaches.

Shopping

Tanger Outlets are off the Boardwalk in Atlantic City. Great place to go for back to school clothes shopping. Remember that in New Jersey there is no sales tax on clothing. If there is something that you might need last minute, Target and Walmart are only a few minutes away. Walmart is closer than Target. Target would be about 10 mins away, whereas, Walmart is only 5 minutes away.

We love Cape May. It's known for their Victorian homes. They have quaint specialty shops and cafes. It's a long drive, probably about an hour and a half. At night they have haunted home tours (just for fun). There is also a ferry that you can take to Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. The ferry is about an hour. Nice way to spend a sunny day.

Parks & Nature

I really like Graveling Point beach which is right over the bridge in Osborne Island. Take Radio Road to the end past the Great May Marina. It's a really small beach and it's free. I like going there because usually I'm the only one. At night you can see Atlantic City lite up. Go during low tide, otherwise, the sandy beach disappears when it's high tide. Since it's a public free beach, there are no life guards.
Great hiking trails, canoe and kayak rentals. It also has a swimming beach.

Everything Else

If you come to the Jersey Shore, you must visit Atlantic City. It has the world's longest boardwalk and lots of restaurants and shops. Many of the casinos also have live entertainment if you want to sit back and enjoy a show.
Atlantic City has the longest boardwalk in the world. The beach is actually free and the fee for chair and umbrella rentals are reasonable. Lots of shops and eateries. This by far is our favorite beach. Plus it's nice to visit the casinos when it gets to hot on the beach. The casinos offer nice frozen drinks, perfect for hot days. Don't miss the light show at night on the boardwalk.
