5 Fun Things to Do at the Jersey Shore This Summer

Jersey Shore Things To Do in the Summer

There is so much more to do at the shore than fun in the sun; There are fantastic restaurants, vineyards, and weekly fireworks! In addition to playing on the beach or the bay for the day, these are a few places and ideas that are worth checking out “down the shore” this summer!

Down The Shore? 5 Must-Do Fun Things

Try Some Good Food

Nothing Like Boardwalk Pizza in New Jersey

If you are looking casual or elegant, the south NJ shore points have many options to offer! A casual Ocean City, NJ essential stop is Manco and Mancos Pizza (pictured below) – this family tradition has been in the business for over 50 years! Or if your palette is craving a more sophisticated experience, try Angeline at the Borgata. This spot was new last year, but it is already a mainstay! Which is not hard to believe, as it is the brainchild of Iron Chef Michael Symon.


Catch A Sunset

And Bring Your Wine Too!

We already know Jersey has some of the best sunset spots around! If you are looking for a great spot with a sunset view this summer, check out Sunset Pier (a BYOB) in Sea Isle City or Luciano Lamberti in Margate! Insider tip: make a reservation!

Beach Yoga

Stretch It Out, After A Long Night Out

Yoga is good for the mind — and your beach body! There are some awesome drop-in gyms and fitness studios that offer everything from Hot Yoga to Acro Yoga! Also there is beach yoga offered in most shore towns, Avalon and Sea Isle City to name a couple! Or if you are feeling more adventurous try SUP Yoga in Stone Harbor.


Friday Night Fireworks in Wildwood

It’s Not Summer Without Them!

Who doesn’t love a good light show? The fireworks erupt on June 22, 2018 for the official start of summer! Be sure to get a good vantage point for this show, especially if you have kids — make sure they can see front and center!
