According to Google New Jersey tourism is a huge money maker… “The tourism sector generated $38.2 billion of state GDP in 2016, representing 6.5% of the entire state economy.”

Personally I am partial to Long Beach Island because that’s the beaches I grew up going to and our family always hits Ship Bottom and we have been going for years. The 22nd Street beach that’s where my kids grew up and enjoyed their summers on the beach. Beautiful beaches all along Long Beach Island. LBI does not have a Boardwalk like other Jersey beaches, more secluded and private.

Speaking of boardwalks I do love walking the boards in Asbury, Seaside, Point Pleasant, Wildwood, Atlantic City, and Ocean City. Each town’s beaches and boardwalk are different but all are great to visit.

Don’t go by what you hear from untalented comics and late night tv hosts, Jersey beaches are fantastic and I put them up against any others, if you have never been to the Garden State come one summer and spend a few days at the beach, you’ll see what I am talking about.
