welcome! Welcome to the New Jersey Shore, and thank you for reading JERSEY SHORE Vacation Magazine and its companion map, the JERSEY SHORE Vacation Map. (Hopefully you found it right alongside this guidebook!) Our publications and website are designed to bring you a wealth of informa- tion to make your life more enjoyable "down the Shore." If you're a long-time visitor or a local resident, you may find things you haven't discovered or be reminded of offerings you may have forgotten. When using these resources, you'll find a myriad of information to make your time at the Shore more rewarding and exciting. On our covers and throughout our pages, we are proud to present paintings and photographs by some of the Shore's most talented artists and photogra- phers. This summer's covers, "Surf's Up" and "Footprints," are by artist June Coles of Sea Girt and feature her grandson in the Sea Girt surf and the dunes between Sea Girt and Spring Lake. Throughout our guides, you'll find many places to go and things to do includ- ing: farmers' markets, a calendar of events, theater and concert events, tourism information, area towns, attractions and activities, public golf courses, parks and recreation areas, lighthouses, historic sites and museums, and more. You'll also find comprehensive guides to accommodations, art galleries, stores and shops, real estate, and our dining out and food section—one of the best sources available for restaurants and nightlife at the Shore. Please be sure to see our new coffee table books – "To The Shore Once More, Volume III" by Frank Finale (on the back cover) and "Aftermath, Volumes I and II - Images Of Superstorm Sandy At The Jersey Shore" by photographer David Turton (on pages 6 and 7) as well as our other beautiful books about the Shore featured on pages 90 – 99. They are all available for purchase at various stores throughout the Jersey Shore as well as online. Page through our magazine and map and visit us online.
