​Sun on your face. Sand between your toes. Sounds of laughter from the boardwalk. It’s a trifecta of happiness. You must be at the Jersey Shore.

The Jersey Shore is our state's coastal region with amazing destinations from exit 109 thru 0 off the Garden State Parkway. Many people live in these coastal areas year round, but it is our summer season that brings in hundreds of thousands of tourists. While there is year round entertainment in most locations, you'll find the best time of year to be from late June through early September.

The Best Secret of the Jersey Shore

Okay, so the morning isn’t exactly a secret, but what you do with it can be. The most beautiful time at the Jersey Shore is right around sunrise. Grab a cup of your mojo and head out to the beach. The sunrise will be gorgeous, the crowds will be scarce, the seaglass will be aplenty and you may even spot a pod of dolphins passing by. It’s a wonderful, calming start to the day. I guarantee this will be your favorite part of your visit to the Jersey Shore.
