This New Jersey Beach Was Ranked As One Of The Top 25 Beaches In America

A summer spent at the Jersey Shore is a summer well spent.

Actually, a summer spent at any beach is a great summer; we have friends who rave about Ocean City Maryland, The Outerbanks in the Carolinas, and even the Delaware Beaches.

But there's just something special about the Jersey Shore so it's no surprise that when the travel experts release a list of the 25 best beaches in the country Jersey has a spot on there.

What Makes Asbury Park, NJ One Of America's Best Beaches?

For starters, the music scene is incredible; you can catch a show at the Stone Pony while hearing the waves crash from the beach, depending on how loud the show is!

Asbury has an amazing downtown area filled with shops and restaurants just a short hop skip from the beach, and of course, you've got the legendary Asbury Park Boardwalk.

You can try your luck at the Silverball Arcade, grab a slice, and then take a stroll on Asbury's pristine beaches, it is one of the best beach towns at the Jersey Shore.
