Why everyone is flocking to south Jersey this summer.

Be it Asbury Park, Seaside park, Belmar beach or Point Pleasant, everyone wants a taste of the jersey shore weather. Here's why the beach is so enticing for those who live in the north.

It's summer 2k18 and its that time to hit the beach again.

The Scenery.

For those looking for a wonderful sunset and marvelous scenery, point pleasant is the place to go. Nestled in a secure neighborhood, there's so much it has to offer. Coffee shops, bars, Boardwalk restaurants, you name it- Point Pleasant has it.

From the Music festivals, to the bars, to the coffee shops, boardwalk performers and games, South jersey beaches sure have a way of making you never want to leave. It's truly a tourist's dream and a photographer's playground.

Less traffic

Unlike the north, South jersey is free flowing and easy to navigate.

The reason why people keep coming back to the shore is.....because they can, with ease. The Garden state parkway heading south is always a smooth ride, making it easier for people to make it to the beach in less than 45 minutes* (if coming from the surrounding Newark area). Once you get to south jersey, places like Belmar and Asbury park have a low amount of traffic thus, gives you more time to enjoy the area before you leave.

The Weather ofcourse

The weather in Asbury park was just amazing that day.

This is pretty much a no-brainer but the weather in south jersey is a big factor on why people travel from so far to have fun at the beach. Look at it this way, would you rather stay in the house during this summer heat or go to the beach (that's less than 45 minutes away)to take full advantage of the weather? I think most would choose the latter. These beaches generate millions in revenue every summer according to statistics and its no wonder why.

Do you think the jersey shore has the best beaches? or does the north have something better to offer? Let me know, you can email me at Mitchapondi723@gmail.com for suggestions.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
