Sadly, summer is getting ready to come to a close at the Jersey Shore.

Our long days at the beach, hanging out on the boardwalks, the bay, and enjoying happy hours on the water are soon going to be traded in for pumpkin picking, cider donuts, and bonfires in the backyard.

Don't get me wrong, Fall a the shore is a truly spectacular time of year.

There are so many street fairs, festivals, and fun things to do that Fall is just as exciting as summer is.

One of the best parts of Fall though has to be seeing the amazing fall foliage that spreads across the Garden State.

Each year seems more breathtaking than the last, and Jersey has some gorgeous mountain ranges and forests to explore and really take in the sights.
