One of the coolest parts of the Jersey Shore is that each beach is unique for its own reasons.

For example, you have places like Point Pleasant and Seaside Heights which have amazing boardwalks that go along with their beaches.

Or you could go to the beach in Sandy Hook where you get a unique view of the New York City Skyline.

It's both eery and awe-inspiring in my opinion.

Island Beach State Park Ranked One Of The East Coast's Best Beaches.

It's more than a beach, it's a state park, and it's such a cool place to visit for the day.

According to Outside Online, Island Beach State Park is the best beach in Jersy and one of the best beaches to visit on the East Coast.

You can swim, surf, hike, kayak, and even camp on the beaches here, and in the grand scheme of things, it's cheaper to visit than buy a beach pass. 

It'll run you $6 dollars to visit during the week, and $10 during the weekend.

By the way, if you want to bring your dog to the beach with you, you'll want to check out these beaches sometime.
