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!) Celebrating the Jersey Coast in Ocean and Monmouth counties, our pub- lications and websites are designed to bring you a wealth of information 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 the Shore's most talented artists and photographers. This summer's covers, "Slice of Tangerine" and "Sea Glass," were painted by Theresa Troise Heidel, one of the nation's finest watercolorists, and feature the beautiful beach and surf at Spring Lake. Throughout our guides, you'll find many places to go and things to do. Our Calendar of Events and Theater and Concert Events sections will guide you through the cultural happenings of the summer season in the two counties. Our guides include Area Towns, Attractions and Activities, Parks and Recreation Areas, Historic Sites and Museums, Lighthouses, Public Golf Courses, Farmers' Markets, and more. You'll also find guides to Accommodations, Art Galleries, Stores and Shops, Real Estate, and our Dining Out and Food section—one of the best sources avail- able for restaurants and nightlife at the Shore. Also inside is our Catalog of Books about the Jersey Shore (pages 88-99).
