Looking for a vacation place in NJ?

Question

Hey guys! Would you please recommend any quiet/non-crowded place (unlike Atlantic City) near the ocean in Jersey?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Try Avalon or Stone Harbor.

Answer 2

I have to laugh at the "Wildwood" answer.  

That's like they asked for a quite/non-crowded concert to go to you, and you recommend the mosh pit at a Beastie Boys show...

Seriously though, you could take the other answer below of S.H. and Avalon.  Avalon is low-key; the boro wants to keep it that way and the mayor will tell you that.  S.H. is has more to do, but "non-crowded" is up to your definition:  These are shore towns that start at 2000 people in the winter and then swell to as much as 30,000+ people and most will run you down in the crosswalk with their $95,000.00 Maseratis.

If your definition is "truly" quiet you should head to Strathmere and venture north, out to O.C., only when you wanted boardwalks and nightlife/excitement.  Strathmere has bumper stickers that joke about it being a hidden jewel.

Good luck

Answer 3

I would go to point plesant beach. U could spend the day at the Jenkinson's beach and then go on The Jenkinsons Boardwalk. It's tons of fun. Think about it... relaxing on a beach, hanging out,and winning prizes. And if u come on tuesdays on the boardwalk  u can buy a braclet to go on unlimited rides from 1-5pm. Or go on Fridays and buy a braclet to go on unlimited rides from 5-9pm. It's crowded, but only at nights. If u come on sunday at 8pm you'll see a free movie on the beach.You'll never forget it.  

Answer 4

Wildwood Crest... I don't know why people put it down I mean there is a large amount of hotels on the beach and plus the boardwalk provides a lot of fun. Plus it has numerous restaurants that offer great food and even if you want to go to Atlantic City it is not far at all. I've never been anywhere else... I mean yeah Seaside but that too local for me and isn't an ideal spot for like a vacation. But if you do decide to go to Wildwood MAKE SURE ITS CREST. There's three Wildwoods... North Wildwood, Wildwood, and Wildwood Crest. Wildwood Crest is the most southern, has nicer hotels, cleaner beaches, and is quieter.
