This is, in my mind, exactly what a beach town store should be like. DIY / repair hardware, tools,…read morebeach-themed household goods and decorations, toys, beach equipment, and more. Walking in here, you can tell it's not like other stores and you can just feel the beachy, summer vibes. Maybe that's just because of the associations I feel between this store and summer vacation, or maybe it's just because that's what this place is all about. It's a bit more expensive than some other stores, but you're 100% paying for convenience. It's one block from the beach and located right in the heart of Lavallette. In my opinion, it's a great place to have in the neighborhood.

Couldnt say hello? Good Morning? Then when others came in immediately afterward he was all chirpy and happy. Forget you - if you dont even have the common courtesy towards all that enter your store. Seriously- Thank you whoever you were for making us NOT want to spend a dime in your store! Work on your manners.

When I go there the associates are rude, stuff is overpriced and falls apart, and children are running around screaming. And I recently had a "permanent" anklet done there - the woman was rude, complaining, twisted my ankle and it feel off within a few weeks. Head over to B&B instead.

Even now that I'm older, we still go to Z-line a few times throughout the summer. The prices are very reasonable, even during peak time.
