The Jersey Shore
29 Feb 2008
We are blessed to live so close to the Ocean, of course here in New Jersey we call it the shore. It’s nice to dream about as we once again have snow falling outside our cabin. The shore season officially begins on Memorial Day, and ends Labor Day, but our favorite time to go is just after the season ends in September. It’s quiet, no traffic, the beaches aren’t crowded, the prices are lower and the weather is still beautiful most of the time.
I’m not a sun bather, so don’t spend a lot of time on the beach in the heat of the day, you’ll find me there at sunrise, or sunset, beautiful, peaceful times. As for where to go, wow, oh my there’s so many different places, I’ll tell you about some we’ve visited in other posts as the spring and summer months get closer, but…sigh…I just had to take some time to dream a bit.

2008 Mar 01 1I’ve traveled up and down the eastern seaboard but I’ve never been to NJ. I’ll have to try to get there some day. But I totally agree with you about living near the Ocean. When I lived in New Bern, NC—we were about two hours away from Atlantic Beach and we were go down for the weekends and enjoy the atmosphere. Because it stays warm most of the time here, September is generally mild and a beautiful time to enjoy the ocean breeze.
I recall spending one Christmas on the beach with my ex-husband with our bottle of Asti Spumante and it was wonderful.
