One thing to note about beaches on the Jersey Shore: you will need a beach badge or day pass for access.
Jenkinson's Boardwalk is the more family-friendly boardwalk with an aquarium and amusements including games, arcades, and rides. For a quick drink and entertainment you can visit Martell's Tiki Bar.
Have you seen the TV show Jersey Shore? Well, this is where it was filmed. It has great amusements: rides, arcades, and people watching. While some of the bars/clubs featured are no longer open, we suggest visiting Maruca's for a slice of pizza and grabbing a drink at Beachcomber or Midway Bar. The stories you will have after people watching will help make your Jersey Shore experience memorable.
This is where we had our first date. While there are many mini golf spots, but only one that features a 30 ft man.
Eagle Ridge Golf Course (Lakewood) or Bel-Aire Golf Course (Wall Township) are both public courses.
