Alive with vibrant personalities and places,
the fun never stops in Asbury Park. One
of NJ's top ten beaches, unique shops on
the boardwalk and downtown, art and
antique galleries, many of the state's best
restaurants, and great clubs make the city
by-the-sea a must stop. Soak up the sun
on the pristine beach or stroll through the
downtown and take in a unique shopping
experience—from art to fashion to fur-
nishings. When you're full of the sun and
the shops, grab a bite at one of Asbury's
specialty eateries and dive head first into
the music scene. Voted "One Of The Top
10 Places To Listen To Music" by USA Today
