Along the Bayshore, you'll find great shopping, antiquing, dining, places to stay, and homes to buy or rent. You'll also find beaches for sunning and swimming or quiet exploring, and many of these true boating and fishing communities still retain the warmth and feel of the vanishing "old Jersey Shore." Its won- derful historic sites, parks, trails, scenic overlooks, and two lighthouses are some of the best and most unique in New Jersey. Whether you're visiting the Bayshore for business or pleasure, there's plenty to do and see. From its northern bay shoreline, to its pristine environmental jewel, Sandy Hook, to its hills and rolling horse pastures, along the Bayshore you'll find a sampling of everything that life at the Jersey Shore has to offer.

Box 199 Manasquan, (732) 223-0544 Manasquan derives its name, Man-A-Squaw-Han (stream of the Island of Squaws), from the Lenni Lenape Indians who summered here for hundreds of years. The town was first settled as a part of Shrewsbury in the late 1600s. Because of its prime Jersey Shore location, it has been an ideal summer resort and year-round community for centuries. For sunbathers, swimmers, and surf fishers, Manasquan has one mile of clean, sandy beaches. There is also a thriving business commu- nity—a variety of stores, shops, services, restau- rants, and hotel and rental accommodations are available.
