Go see the historic lighthouse at Sandy Hook and Fort Hancock, or enjoy the scenic nature walks throughout the area. Great views of NYC right across the bay, but if you're looking for more, Twin Lights in the nearby Atlantic Highlands tower over the Sandy Hook beaches and offer even more amazing views of the city!
One of our favorites! This quirky bar is just across the street from the beach and a block away from the Asbury Hotel. If you plan to bring your furry friends with you for the weekend, check out Yappy Hour on the patio! Just make sure to read all of the bar's rules first.
A drive down Ocean Avenue can bring you to a handful of other beach towns if you are looking to explore more of the Jersey Shore! Belmar, Bradley Beach, Spring Lake, and Manasquan are just a few of many unique towns that we love!
