Things To Do

We are so excited to share the place we have decided to call home with our guests. Monmouth County has incredible beaches, state parks, dining, and is a quick ferry ride away from Manhattan, NY.

Sea Bright Beach

Sea Bright, NJ 07760

Sandy Hook

128 South Hartshorne Drive, Highlands, NJ 07732

Sandy Hook State Park has expansive ocean and bay beaches plus recreational areas for biking, running and walking. For nature lovers, the park also offers extensive salt marshes, a spectacular holly forest and more than 300 species of birds. There is a restaurant called Mule Barn Tavern located inside the park, we'd recommend walking the beach then going to the tavern for lunch.

Donovan's Reef

1171 Ocean Avenue, Sea Bright, NJ 07760

Voted one of the best beach bars in America! They open at 9am and have delicious pork roll, egg & cheeses for the early risers. In the afternoon we recommend coming here for a rum bucket, live music, Jersey shores finest people watching and their personal beach.

Manhattan, NY via Ferry

New York, NY

We are a 45 minute ferry ride away from NYC. The Seastreak ferry runs from Atlantic Highlands and Highlands terminal to Pier 11 in financial district in Manhattan. The ferry is quick, offers scenic views of the lady liberty and even has a bar! The ferry runs less frequently on the weekends, it may be a little tight timeline wise for Saturday of the wedding but could be a great option for Friday or Sunday.

For all the days along the way
