Outdoors

There is one event though that combines the beach, beverages, and dogs, and it happens every week in Point Pleasant.

Jersey is no stranger to complaints and concerns about driving, in fact, there are 6 roads in Jersey that are considered some of the scariest to drive down in the entire country!

located in Warren County, near the New Jersey-Pennsylvania border, it's usually not as crowded as other popular destinations in New Jersey, but it is a great place for a day trip, especially if you don't like crowds.

The proceeds from this event go to benefit the AHEPA Service Dogs For Warriors Foundation, an organization that helps provide service dogs to veterans who need them.

Not that I want to rush summer, but details about this year's Italian Festival in Seaside Heights were announced, and I'm already counting down the days.

It may be totally worth the day trip, especially because this tiny park apparently has one of the best views in the entire state.

There's one trail in Jersey that leads you through a very rural part of the state and is pretty unique because it's considered an easy trail but has an elevation of over 500 feet.

Fortunately, there is a beach at the Jersey Shore that is called one of the state's best-kept secrets. It's a beach that's just a little bit off the beaten path, and because of that not many tourists know where to go to soak up the gorgeous views.

What's really cool, is that one beach town sets up an entire professional concert stage on the beach each summer and brings in some great entertainment! I was astounded my first summer here when I walked up on the boardwalk and saw all the lights and musicians and the sounds of the Grateful Dead in the air.

Another popular Jersey Shore beach town has announced its schedule for movies on the beach, and I'm excited about this one. Seaside Heights will host their movies on the beach at Fremont Avenue Beach each Sunday evening starting July 2nd and running through August 27th.

Beach bars are a staple at the Jersey Shore, and during the summer they're some of the most fun places to hang out. One beloved Seaside Heights beach bar though has announced its re-opening date for the summer of 2023, and I can't wait.

Summerfest kicks off June 29th and runs throughout the summer, if you haven't been before it's an absolute blast! Another summer concert series has released its schedule this year, and again all of the entertainment will be provided to the community for free.
