Looking to head to the Jersey Shore for a day trip with my girlfriend later this month. Any suggestions on a nice beach in Northern NJ?

Deal may be a little further south than what you're looking for, but is a fun beach.

We live at the beginning of t he Jersey shore-home to bon jovi and bruce. The beaches you would come t o here are sandy hook and sea bright but the drive down Ocean avenue takes you all the wa ydown. Try ocean grove for oldtime gingerbread victoriana and Moonstruck cafe andothers along the main street, ]keep on going down t o find the flavor of the other towns, spring lake is expensive and beautiful (sisters cafe) and honky tonk boardwalk of point pleasant is something unto itself.

Fathest to the north is Atlantic highlands, you ca n take a ferry there from wall street, grea restaurants like memphis pig out or the hard to find cousin cafe or look for the door with the horsehoe for a hidden tret.

Try seven presidents park in long branch or the puc]blic beach in Sea bright and then hop into Red bank for the hippest town in NJ.Hav fun and good luck! There's lots to do for everyone.

I live alittle south of al lthose areas at exit 98 on the GSP, but the best place for a romantic ,a dnfun weekend would be Springlake, NJ. Some great restaurants in the area are Matisse, Bella Luna, Parkside Cafe ,and Lubranos. There are bars to go ut in at night, some fun ones are Parker House in Sea Girt, and Leggett's Manasquan.

We have it all
