Every summer, one of the most visited beach towns on the Jersey Shore is Seaside Heights. Typically, when you think of Seaside Heights, four main things tend to come to mind: the beach, the boardwalk, fried oreos and Jersey Shore. For me, however, I think of all the great memories my family has made there, and is continuing to make, in the many years we have been visiting Seaside Heights. In our time spent there, we have discovered many hidden gems, from restaurants and ice cream shoppes, to rides and arcades, that make our trips every summer so special. That being said, here are 8 must-do activities in Seaside Heights:

1) Ride the Sky Ride

Take a relaxing ride high above Seaside Heights and enjoy scenic views of the beach and boardwalk.

2) Go to Jenkinson’s Breakwater Beach Waterpark

Breakwater Beach is fun for everyone to visit, with a variety of waterslides, a wave pool, lazy river, and so much more!

3) Visit The Music Man

The Music Man is an ice cream shoppe on the Seaside Heights Boardwalk, where your ice cream comes with a show— but be ready, because you might have to sing or dance for your ice cream!

4) Eat at The Bayside Cafe

Not only does The Bayside Cafe have great food, but it is located right on the bay, making it a perfect place to go for dinner and to watch the sunset.

5) Get a Moose Tracks Milkshake at Hershey’s Shake Shoppe Arcade on the Boardwalk

Just do it. Trust me. You will NOT regret it.

6) Race on the Casino Pier Go-Karts

You are never too old for go-karts!

7) Eat at Spicy Cantina on the Boardwalk

What could be better than delicious Mexican food and the beach?

8) Play the Crane Machines at the Casino Pier Arcade

By the end of the day, you will not even realize how much money you wasted trying to win the stuffed animal out of the crane machine because of how much fun you had.
