The ideal Jersey shore town summer and winter.
-
7/7/2009
Summer - Beaches are clean and big, but not free. Boardwalk is family oriented. Manasquan RIver and Inlet caters to boaters. Commercial fishing fleet operates here. Great fishing. Many party fishing boats. Many night clubs and restaurants. Excellent police and emergency services. Limited care emergency facility in town. Nothing to do? You'll have a hard time saying this. Surf, swim, wake board, waterski, go fishing, boating, parasailing over the waves, sunbathe, hit the boardwalk, go out to eat, watch a beach side concert, great night club entertainment, numerous coffee shops, many parks, check out Gull island in it's natural state (overgrown island in the inlet area). River taxi. Passenger trains pass through town. Monmouth and Freehold Track (horse racing) and Wall Stadium (cars) not far. Rent a canoe or kayak and row to the up-river waters of the Manasquan. Historic Allaire Village nearby.
Winter- pretty quiet
There are quieter and noisier towns along the shore. PPB is a nice mix. I've been here 30 years and can't think of a better town.
