New Jersey In The Summer - Do We Stay Or Do We Go?

Their choice for the best vacation destination in New Jersey is a gorgeous place in Ocean County that we all love so much. Congratulations to LBI! Long Beach Island gets the nod this time around.

It Wasn't The New Jersey Town That Always Seems To Win

It might surprise you that it is not the place most publications choose to top the list in most categories here in the Garden State. If you guessed Cape May, you guessed wrong this time.

If you've never been to LBI, you don't know what you're missing. The restaurants are incredible, the beaches are immaculate, and the family fun is endless.

We love Cape May and think that great town deserves every honor it gets, but it's nice to see that Long Beach Island gets some well-deserved love also. You can't go wrong with either place.
