Most people think the Jersey Shore is just about beaches and boardwalk (we’ll ignore traffic on the Parkway and endless waits at your favorite restaurants).
The Shore itself is one nonstop experience; I’ve lived there nearly half my life and can’t imagine living anywhere else. This list will offer 41 essential experiences that have nothing to do with beaches, boardwalk food or traffic jams. Seafood fests. Lighthouses. A sandcastle contest and a barbecue competition. Trolley tours, miniature golf and the Intelligent Whale. The Garden State Parkway. Yes, you read that right A beauty contest for hermit crabs and the United States Froth Blowing Championship. I’m not making either one of those up.
