My friend suggested a beach day, stationed at the Conover Pavilion. She mentioned that there was a…read morelarge, grassy parking lot that was for daily guests, and that I could purchase parking time for my spot through the Premium Parking app. Well, when I arrived, the area was full of cars, but a crossing guard told me that I could park on any of the neighboring residential streets, as an alternative. So, the closed lot wound up being helpful in that I was able to park for free and with almost the same level of convenience. Once my friend and I resolved our parking situations, we walked up to the main building to pay the $12 beach entrance fee, for which they only accepted credit cards. After we obtained our daily bracelets, we approached the main pavilion area, which included reasonably clean bathrooms, locker rooms, changing areas, several tables, and a well-stocked snack bar and grill. In fact, we decided to get lunch from the stand, and my Grilled Chicken California whole wheat wrap (with grilled chicken, avocado, lettuce, and tomato) was pretty great! The chicken was a tad dry, but the vegetables were super fresh. I was shocked at the selection of healthy and flavorful options they had; your standard hot dogs and hamburgers were not the only items on offer. They also served a variety of chips, novelty ice cream bars, non-alcoholic drinks, and more. We were even able to easily get a table at which to enjoy our food. The beach was fluffy, clean, and not overly crowded. Plus, they had showers both on the beach itself and up on the deck of the Pavilion, making it easy to clean off before leaving the venue. Overall, it was a beautiful and relaxing day at the shore. In fact, while I had not been sure if I had been to Conover in the past, I immediately recognized it from my childhood, which was a nice memory with which to be surprised!

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR... JERSEY SHORE SEASON, BABY!!! Beach days are back and so is heavier…read moretraffic on the Garden State Parkway ;) I kicked off the summer at one of my favorite beaches in Jersey, Asbury Park. This vibrant beach city is known for its thriving art scene, LGBTQ+-inclusive culture, and historic rock-and-roll music venues. I'm a seasoned beach gal, so here's everything you need to know to make the most of your visit: PARKING: Paid parking is in full effect 7 days a week from 9AM-2AM, so don't bother looking for free parking unless you want to park blocks from the waterfront. There are plenty of spots near the beach, but on weekends you have to arrive EXTRA early to snag one. Your options are... -Metered street parking (hourly) -Lots with a flat rate for the day (way more $$$) -Bangs Avenue Garage (hourly) ADMISSION: Daily passes are $7 (weekdays) and $10 (weekends/holidays) per person. You can buy a daily pass or seasonal badge online or in person at ticket booths on the boardwalk. It's FREE for... -Children 12 and under -Active military and their dependents -Veterans -Anyone who comes after 5pm (weekdays) & 6pm (weekends/holidays) BEACH & AMENITIES: The beach is very clean, the sand is soft, and the water has gotten so much clearer and bluer over the years. The only downside is the crowds. It gets packed on weekends, so you may not have as much space as you'd like. I always bring my own chair and cooler and have a grand time sunbathing! Other perks... -Umbrella and chair rentals -Public bathrooms, beach showers, and water bottle filling stations -Free beach playgrounds -Designated fishing & surfing areas -Dog beach BOARDWALK: One perk of Asbury Park is that the beach is SUPER close to the boardwalk. It's only 1 mile long, so it's completely walkable. There's so much art here, so don't forget to check out the stunning Wooden Walls murals. I swear I always discover a new installation every time I visit. FOOD/ENTERTAINMENT/NIGHTLIFE: There's a lot to do here! Food options range from grab-and-go spots to fancier sit-down restaurants: -Jersey Shore grub (funnel cakes, fries, pizza) -MOGO -Porta -The Robinson Ale House -Tim McLoone's Supper Club -Stella Marina Bar The nightlife here is filled with live music, beach bars, and rooftops like... -The Stone Pony (Hellooooo, Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi) -Wonder Bar -Asbury Lanes (bowling alley that doubles as a concert venue) -Watermark -Silverball Museum Arcade -Convention Hall (hosts concerts & events) And that's why Asbury Park is such an incredible beach city. People can talk all the smack they want about Jersey, but I still deeply love all 141 miles of our beautiful shoreline.

A great beach if you're looking for a place that isn't as busy as Point Pleasant or Seaside…read moreHeights, but has the boardwalk and beach. Even on a weekend when it gets pretty busy, you should be able to find street parking not too far of a walk to the beach and it will be free. In typical jersey fashion, you will still have to buy beach passes though when you get to the water, but I believe you can also pre-purchase them. Even though it can get busy, the beach is clean and I feel people are really respectful of throwing away their trash. The beach draws not just families, but also adults, teens and the college crowd. I'm sure this is due to the fact that it has a little boardwalk area where you can find a ton of varieties of little cute restaurants, snack stands, and shops. If you are lucky and go on a night the Stone Pony has music, you can catch the sounds from the beach or the boardwalk.

If that wasn't enough they have lockers, shampoo & conditioner, liquid body soap, and hair dryers. Private showers and changing rooms allow you to keep your dignity as you disrobe. To top it all off they have an outdoor, hammock filled lounge area where you can relax after your shower. Free unmetered parking spaces right outside the door. The only thing they don't give you is a towel. It's BYOT. They are not exactly trying to make a huge announcement about it, but this place is a GREAT find. I have a feeling it was created for the convenience of the people who purchased condos in the area. But it's clearly open to the public.

To see Cooper splash around in the waves trying to figure out what it was, his excitement was palpable! What a joy to see my best friend experience the beach! Tips: it opens at 6pm and the parking is free, the best lot is directly placed at the beach entrance at 8th avenue. Bring water and a bowl for your pooch! Leashes may be a good idea especially if your pup is unpredictable and young like my 10 month old Boxer/Lab is. There's a few wild cats dogs and owners ignorant of what their dog is doing so keep an eye out, but of all the dogs Cooper met, there was only one who needed a little discipline. Can't visit this beach enough, glad I'm part of the dog owners club again!
