6 Things In Jersey You Need To Do During The Summertime

Author's photo

It is finally summer, and between working as many hours as we can all get and squeezing in time for the beach, friends and fun we need help figuring out plans! (You can only get ice cream so many times... but ice cream is still the best so carry on..) Here I have listed for you a few different options for your summer plans in Jersey! Do them all, do one, do a few but make sure to make the most of your summer and have a great time! Summer is only here for a few months every year and sadly it flies by, so take advantage while you can.

5. Willow Creek Winery (Cape May)

There are so many wonderful things to do over the summer, from going to the beach or going to an amusement park! But remember to take time to relax and have fun because you work/go to school all year long, so it is time for some relaxation! Have a wonderful summer and make the most of it because soon enough the school year and cold weather will come back around and we will be wishing we had those carefree days back. I hope these suggestions helped you out a bit!
