When NY Isn’t Enough

New York State has some very lovely lake-side beaches, but the only “real” beach (ocean front) is on Long Island. Long Island is so heavily populated and so difficult to navigate that New Yorkers often go elsewhere for an Atlantic Ocean experience. Some folks go all the way down south, but there are some lovely beaches not too far from us: in neighboring New Jersey.

And the nice thing about New Jersey is that the state has made good use of the coastline, and has developed some of the most beautiful beaches ever. New Jersey beaches are perfect places for the perfect vacation. I’ve enjoyed Cape May and Wildwood areas, and I loved the boardwalks and resorts in Wildwood NJ. Morey’s Piers is a really fun place. I visited it when I was living in Philadelphia (a short drive from the city). It’s a family-friendly place with something for everyone! If you’d like more information, check out their website, and look for discounts, specials, and events. It’s also a great site to look for hotels, resorts, ticket prices, food, group events (including educational programs) and more. Or, check out the beautiful beaches that are open and all the things you can do there. I just loved walking the beach line, scavenging for seashells and finding little turtles and jellyfish. There is so much you can do and a family beach vacation is a wonderful way to enjoy it!
