SHORE PHOTO: SURF CITY/EVAN SCOTT Playful Swell & Boardwalk Fun Welcome to a seaside playground stretching 90 miles of white-sand beaches and bustling boardwalks. From hipster-friendly Asbury Park to family-friendly Point Pleasant, each shore town has its own vibe. Climb the lighthouse or cast a line at Barnegat Bay, spot shorebirds at Island Beach State Park or grab a board on Long Beach Island, home to 16 dedicated surfing beaches. Beyond the surf and sand, the area pulses with roller-coaster rides, water-park cool-downs and concerts echoing through the night. While summertime shines, the Shore Region gives you plenty of reasons to linger throughout the year. VisitNJ.org 63
