  1. The Casino

    The Casino in Asbury Park, New Jersey, brings back memories of the glory days of this Jersey Shore community and "Greetings from Asbury Park." Today it remains a landmark in dire need of repair. Although its marvelous carousel was dismantled long ago, it can still be heard in the memories of those who were fortunate enough to have riden its horses.

    UPDATE (6/30/08): During my last visit progress seems to be happening.

  2. Boardwalk

    The boardwalk in Spring Lake, New Jersey, runs along the ocean front for approximately two miles. Over the Memorial Day weekend, runners from all over the country come to this seaside community to run one of the largest five mile races in the country that starts and ends alongside the boardwalk.

  3. Lake Como

    Toward the end of summer 2007, the sun set over Lake Como, a little body of water on the border of Spring Lake and Lake Como adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean on the Jersey Shore. The water fowl are diverse and offer peaceful moments within a stones throw of the Atlantic Ocean.

  4. Funtown Pier

    The Funtown Pier remains a great summer spot for the whole family on the Jersey Shore in Seaside Heights, New Jersey.

  5. Point Pleasant, NJ

  6. Hot Dog Johnny's

    Is Hot Dog Johnny's a classic roadside hot dog stand/restaurant along Route 46 in Buttzville (heh heh heh!), New Jersey, not far from the Delaware Water Gap.

    Route 46 was a major east-west throughfare before Interstate 80 was built, and Hot Dog Johnny's, which opened in 1944, is a thriving reminder of what roadside architecture and cuisine were like back in the day.

    Don't miss the birch beer served in frosted mugs, the french fries, and, of course, the hot dogs.

  7. Ocean City Boardwalk

  8. New River

    Arching gracefully across the New River, the bridge has the world's longest single arch steel span. At 876 feet above the New River, it is the second highest bridge in this country.

  9. Belmar Marina

    The Belmar Marina is located just off of Route 71 and Route 35 along the Shark River in Belmar, New Jersey. Besides being a place to tie-up your boat if you are an owner, visitors can hop a party boat out into the Atlantic to go fishing for fluke, blue fish, blackfish, ling, cod, stripers, the list goes on...

  10. Gazebo

    Bradley Beach, New Jersey, is a family oriented resort town with a playground and miniature golf course right on the boardwalk. In addition, the Bradley Beach Gazebo, also on the boardwalk, is home to the borough's summer concert series.
