Sometimes people set up their beach area 5 inches from your beach area, or play music so loud on the beach that you could hear it all the way back at the bay. Heck, I even had people play football over top of my beach area a few weeks ago!

3 NJ Beaches Ranked Among The Politest Beaches In America

Despite the fact that sometimes people lack manners when they're at the beach, for the most part, a day spent at the beach just puts you in a good mood, and three beaches in New Jersey were just ranked among the most polite beaches in the country!

According to APP, things that went into consideration were whether people clean up their trash after they're done at the beach, whether or not people follow spacing etiquette, and whether or not the overall atmosphere felt calm and relaxed, or totally chaotic

What 3 NJ Beaches Are The Politest In The Country?

The Cove at Cape May was ranked as one of Jersey's most peaceful beaches, and honestly, I'd like to think any beach in Cape May is a polite beach, I mean, it's Cape May.

Avalon was also on the list, the South End Beaches in particular, because it's clean, relaxed, and well-maintained. There's a reason Avalon says it's Cooler by a Mile.

And lastly, in Monmouth County, Ocean Grove Beach in Neptune made the list as one of New Jersey's 3 politest beaches. I think a part of that is that it's a dry town, so there's no boozin' taking place that can cause a rowdy crowd.
