We just arrived home today from a week in Seaside Heights. Yes, I know....I already live here in Ocean County, so why would one want to vacation somewhere that's within minutes from where they live? Easy. We have a bunch of friends from central/north Jersey who stay at Seaside every year for a week in the summer, and we like to hang with them instead of running home every night. And it's well worth it! What a GORGEOUS week we had!!!
I am severely pressed for time for the next two days, since early Sunday morning we are headed to CT for a few days. (YUCK...who goes to New England in the SUMMER when you live right near the shore??? Don't ask....) Anyway, here's a quick rundown, with other blog posts to follow:
We always stay in the quieter northern end of Seaside Heights, near Ortley Beach. The hotel we normally stay at has been sold for condos, so we tried the Sunburst Motel this time. Absolutely fabulous!! Family owned and operated, and they are always on premises. Nice, nice accomodating people. Clean as a whistle, and they only rent to families in the summer so it's a great atmosphere for kids also. Heated pool, free wifi, complimentary bagels & coffee every day, pizza party by the pool on Thursdays, and only a block and a half from the beach. Check out all they offer at their website here.
We went to the beach every single day, and it was beyond gorgeous. Seaside is really doing an awesome job of recreating a family atmosphere. They have free family activities all week long, and Wednesdays and Thursdays are free beach days. Children under 12 are always free anyway! I grew up going to Seaside my entire life, but in the 90's it was really on a downhill run. Well, back uphill we go! It is turning around rather nicely.
More details about what we did each day later, as well as pics!
