Things To Do

If you’re in town for the weekend, we hope you’ll take some time to enjoy the Jersey Shore! August is one of the best times to be here, with warm weather and lots going on, though it is also peak beach season so things can get a bit busy. Be sure you buy a beach pass online before going (links included below). We’ve shared a few of our favorite beach spots and some restaurant recommendations for everything from casual bites to nicer dinners. Whether you want to spend the day by the ocean, walk around town, or grab a good meal, there’s plenty to do. We hope you have fun, relax, and make the most of the weekend!

Asbury Park Beach & Boardwalk

1300 Ocean Avenue North, Asbury Park, NJ 07712
