Welcome to The Jersey Shore!
Courtesy of BestWeekends.com
It is unfortunate that the image many have of New Jersey is represented by the oil refineries surrounding Newark (Liberty) Airport and the New Jersey Turnpike.
In truth, the State’s nickname, “The Garden State” more accurately reflects its true nature.
While the state is one of the most densely populated in the country, large areas are devoted to vegetable and fruit farming and horse breeding.
The northwestern part of the state is mountainous and sparsely populated and the eastern part of the state enjoys some of the most beautiful beaches in the country.
Here are some things I bet you didn’t know about New Jersey:
• New Jersey has the most diners in the world
• There are more racehorses in New Jersey than in Kentucky
• New Jersey is the home to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island
• New Jersey is the world leader in blueberry and cranberry production
• 80% of what the US imports comes through the Elizabeth Seaport
• The lightbulb, phonograph and motion picture were inveted by Thomas Edison in New Jersey
• The first Indian Reservation was in the Watchung Mountains, NJ
• The first baseball game was played in Hoboken, NJ
• The first college football game was played in New Brunswick, NJ
OH THE GOOD OLD DAYS…
Growing up at the Jersey Shore in the 60’s-80’s was a magical time.
We lived a kind of “Mayberry” experience where everything just seemed to be OK. There were no seatbelts, kids rode bikes without helmets, you only got a trophy if you actually won something, people could discuss politics without ending in an argument and the police were tolerant of minor youthful offenses. Everyone had a summer job, we never talked back to our teachers, we did what our parents told us to do. We could leave in the morning, play all day and come home by dinner. We didn’t lock our doors, we went to Sunday School and we spent the Holidays with family.
The assassinations, the Vietnam War and Watergate shocked us from our idyllic early years and made us grow up quickly. It’s no wonder that as the world changed and we got older, we turned to drink!
Fortunately, there were was no shortage of wonderful watering holes at the Jersey Shore. All of the following list (except for the ones with astericks) are no longer around, but boy, do we miss the memories of those days.
How many do you remember?
Who offered 8 beers for a dollar? What bar had the most “beautiful people”? What bar had so many people you were virtually guaranteed to hook up? Who had the greatest 4” high sandwiches? Where did everyone sing, “I don’t wanna go home” at the end of the night? What bar had a patron drive up the long front steps on a motorcycle…naked? Where could you get served when you were 16 years old? What bar was a former stagecoach stop and bordello?

The Ultimate Guide to the Jersey Shore Things To Do
BEACHES
All of the beaches at the Jersey Shore are clean and well maintained by the individual town’s beach departments. Beach maintenance is supported by the sale of daily and seasonal beach badges. Cost is $4-$10 per day. Visitors can enjoy pristine beaches from Sandy Hook south to Island Beach State Park.
GOLF
Monmouth County offers 6 public golf courses, two of which Howell and Hominy Hill, are consistently rated among the top public courses in the country. Hominy Hill in Colts Neck, was called “Augusta of New Jersey.” By Zagat. Colts Neck Golf Club is semi-private and offers a wonderful and challenging trek.
RUNNING/WALKING/BIKING
The “boards” as the boardwalks are called are ideal and scenic for walking or running along the ocean. Bikes are only allowed on the boardwalks before 9am in season, anytime out of season. The Manasquan Reservoir, located about 20 minutes away is a natural preserve and has a beautiful 5 mile trail through the woods and along the reservoir. Wonderful place to walk, run or bike. There is a lengthy bike path through the woods, starting on North Main Street in Manasquan and stretching out all the way to Trenton. Bikes can be rented a Shore Riders Bike Rentals in Point Pleasant.
KAYAKING
Kayaking in and around the Manasquan River is both great exercise and wonderful way to spend an hour or two. There’s a place in Manasquan that rents kayaks by the hour or day. Paddle Out in Manasquan at 537 Main Street opens at 10am, but if you call the night before they’ll meet you as early as 8am.
BOATING
Boatsetter.com and Getmyboat.com offer a variety of boats to rent throughout the Jersey Shore.
GAMBLING
Gambling and top notch shows are about an hour and fifteen to an hour and thirty minutes away in Atlantic City.
THEATER
We are fortunate to have five theater companies in the area. Spring Lake Theatre Company 3rd Ave, Spring Lake, Algonquin Arts Theater in Manasquan, the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, Alexelrod Performing Arts Center in Deal and NJ Repertory Company in Long Branch. All produce Broadway type shows and many live music concerts.
FISHING
Surf fishing is very popular in the area with striped bass and blue fish the usual catch. Young guy recently caught a 52lb striper in the surf. You’ll have to bring your own pole, but you can get everything else you need at Bogan’s Basin in Brielle, on Higgins Ave. Brielle is the deep sea fishing capital of the East offering both charter boats and party boats.
HORSERACING
Monmouth Park Rt. 36, Long Branch No better way to spend a cloudy day than the beautiful Monmouth Park. Clean, well managed facility with manicured grounds, top horses and jockeys. Season runs late May to late September.
CONCERTS
The PNC Bank Arts Center Located in Holmdel. This outdoor amphitheater is a beautiful venue and hosts some of the top acts touring each summer. Count Basie Theater is on Monmouth Ave. in Red Bank This small indoor theater offers interesting concert and theater productions throughout the year.
