Asbury Park-Beach NJ

What can i say about Asbury Park Beach other than I really enjoy going there several times a year. It’s not my favorite beach but I still go since I love to walk the boards, pop into convention hall and browse the shops, lunch at the Break is always good. They have great burgers, sandwiches and the sushi is so good. There’s other restaurants too on the boardwalk and lots on cookman ave but I like to stay near the water. When stone pony summer stage has a concert my friends and I either get tickets or sit across the street on the grass or bring a chair. You can even see the stage. We do have a boat and from the water the music can be heard as clear as can be. When it’s 10-11pm i love to dip into paradise to dance before heading home, the disco opens at 10. It’s a fun time on a summer night

There is a first time for everything. My spouse wanted to take a day trip to the beach and she came up with Asbury Park as the option. About 1.5 hours from my home, I figured why not. It was a great beach day with the weather around 82 with a slight breeze but the sun was very warm. We found parking rather easily as there are hundreds of street parking spots and public lots to use. Street parking uses an APP for parking so be prepared to download it upon arrival. Beach tags are 9$/person on the weekend for a daily pass. It was a jam packed beach but we found a spot amongst the crowd and settled in. There are lifeguards in duty which is nice and the beach sand was clean. It’s not a huge beach like wildwood so space is limited and you won’t be able to play a large soccer game or fly a kite.

Lovely beach with some big black rocks at few places gives quite beautiful backdrop for pictures and a good place for fishing too. Boardwalk is not too big but enough bto spent a evening with sone bars and other shops.

Nice clean beach. Definitely recommend getting on site umbrella. One I brought was ready to fly away

The heart of the Jersey shore with a rich history of music. The beach is very well maintained, with regular grooming during in season. Having a number of different restaurants on the boardwalk gives visitors options to enjoy a cozy drive bar or date night. 8th street is dog friendly during the summer - with the entire beach being dog friendly in the off season.
