Train
NJ Transit
If you're coming in from afar and would rather a train than a plane, take Amtrak (https://www.amtrak.com/home) to either Newark Penn Station or New York Penn Station and then take a NJTransit train on the North Jersey Coast Line. After a quick transfer right across the tracks at Long Branch, you can take the train straight to Asbury Park. The Allenhurst station, one stop before Asbury, is also quite close to the Asbury Boardwalk, and is the safer station for late night arrivals/departures.
Travel Note
Shuttles, Uber and Taxis
The day of the wedding we'll have a shuttle waiting (specific time TBA here!) to take our out-of-towner guests from a meeting point on the boardwalk in front of our reception venue Watermark, central to the hotels we've recommended for you all. The shuttle will take you to our ceremony at Allaire Village 23 minutes away, and wait to take you back to Watermark for the reception. For those of who you will need to get around otherwise while in town without a car, Uber is a really easy and affordable option in Asbury Park. If you'd rather an old school taxi, Surf Taxi is decent! (732) 774-5500
