Scoping out a hotel

Tomorrow I'm off to scope out northern Seaside Heights for a hotel to spend a week in. I have friends from North Jersey who like to vacation at the shore every summer, so even though I live here, I get my family a room in the Heights too. Why drive 15 minutes when I can be on the beach with only a 2-minute walk? That's what I say!

Every year we used to stay at the Sea View Inn in northern Seaside (the benny-less area, I like to call it). This year however, we were informed they are selling their building to a condo developer. Bummer! It was a great family place. But with all the restoration going on in Seaside, it can only look up. I have to say, they are really building it up pretty nice! So hopefully Seaside's rep will be rising. Northing Seaside is a great family place, close to quiet Ortley Beach, yet close enough to all the fun of the boardwalk too. Nice middle ground.

I'll let you know what gems we find tomorrow! Until then....

Welcome!!!

Hi everyone, and welcome to the Here At The Jersey Shore blog! Soon to be followed by a website and podcast.

I live here in Ocean County, New Jersey, surrounded by the most beautiful beaches and boardwalks New Jersey has to offer. I am eager to share with you everything our shore has to offer! Please be sure to contact me with any questions or suggestions you have.

We have a busy summer planned, with everything from a week's vacation at the shore, movies on the beach, Blueclaws games, weekend in Wildwood, etc. I'll be sure to keep you updated on local events and everything else going on down here this summer.

So stay tuned....fun is just a click away!
